I've never seen the terminology 'slope-intercept' form before, but it seems fairly self-explanatory that it means 'of the form y = m + c'.

Hence it is a simply rearrangement of the equation to start with, in order to make  the subject:






This is the graph in 'slope-intercept' form. From here it is easy to see that gradient  = and that y-intercept = 490.

The easiest way to draw a straight-line graph, such as this one, is to plot the y-intercept, in this case (0, 490), then plot another point either side of it at a fair distance (for example substitute  = -5 and  = 5 to procure two more sets of co-ordinates). These can be joined up with a straight line to form a section of the graph, which would otherwise extend infinitely either side - use the specified range in the question for x-values, and do not exceed it (clearly here the limit of -values is 0 ≤ x ≤ 735, since neither x nor y can be negative within the context of the question - the upper limit was found by substituting  = 0).

In function notation, the graph is:



The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.

When the profit is higher, the gradient is not changed (this is defined by the relationship between the $2 and $3 prices, not the overall profit) - instead the -intercept is higher:






Therefore we have gleaned that the new y-intercept is 531.

Clearly I cannot see the third straight line. However the method for finding the equation of a straight line graph is fairly simple:

1. Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates
2. The gradient of the line = 
3. Find the change in  (Δ
4. Find the change in  (Δ
5. Divide the result of stage 3 by the result of stage 4
6. This is your gradient
7. Take one of your sets of coordinates, and arrange them in the form , where your  is the gradient you just calculated
8. There is only one variable left, which is  (the y-intercept). Simply solve for this
9. Now generalise the equation, in the form , by inputting your gradient and y-intercept whilst leaving the coordinates as  and 

For example if the two points were (1, 9) and (4, 6):

Δ = 6 - 9 = -3
Δ = 4 - 1 = 3
 =  = -1
I choose the point (4, 6)
6 = (-1 * 4) + c
6 = c - 4
c = 10
Therefore, generally, 

Within the context of the question, I imagine the prices of the two lunch specials will be the same in the third month and hence the gradient will still be  - this means steps 1-6 can be omitted. Furthermore if the axes are clearly labelled, you may even be able to just read off the y-intercept and hence dispose with steps 1-8!

I hope this helps you

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract starting value minus the final value (decrease)

\$5.75 - \$4.60\\\\= 5.75 - 4.60 \\\\= 1.15

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number

1.15 \div 5.75\\\\= \frac{1.15}{5.75}\\\\= 0.2

Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get a percent decrease

0.2 \times 100\\\\= 20

Therefore, the percent decrease of the price of paper per package is 20%

<em>Note: If the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not a decrease.</em>

Owen has a 15 ft ladder, the instructions say that the base of the ladder should be 6 ft from the wall. How high up the wall wil
pogonyaev

Answer:

height = 13.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use the Pythagorean theorem

hypotenuse^2 =base^2 + height^2

15^2 = 6^2+height^2

225 = 36 + height^2

189 = height^2

height = 13.75 feet

Please help thanks :)

Question 1:

Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

You get.

7(x-1) = 4x+2

7x-7 = 4x+2

Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Question 2:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{x+1}{x+3} by 3.

We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.

\frac{3x+3}{3x+9} = \frac{15}{21}

Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.

3x+3 = 15

3x+9 = 21

If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.

That's your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

A third-degree polynomial function f has real zeros -2, ½, and 3, and its leading coefficient negative. Write an equation for f.
Rom4ik [11]
F(x) = k(x+2)(2x-1)(x-3), where k is some constant
= k(2x^3-3x^2-11x+6)
= k(-2x^3+3x^2+11x-6)

k defines some vertical stretch, so there are an infinitely many solutions for f(x).
