The equations are in slope intercept form which is
y = mx+b
m is the slope of the equation. slope is rise/ run meaning that if a slope is 2, you can also say 2/1. this means you go up 2 squares and to the right 1 point. if the slope is negative, it looks like a downhill and the line falls left to right. if the slope is positive, it looks like uphill and the line falls right to left.
the x is what the slope is multiplied by but isn’t significant in graphing because it’s always just x
the b represents the y intercept. the y axis is the vertical line on the graph. for example if b = 7, then the line goes through 7 on the graph and basically tells us that (0,7) is a point on the line.
for y= x + 7, the slope is 1. that equation is just saying y= 1x+7 but the one is unnecessary usually because it’s implied that the x means 1x
i attached a picture of the graphed lines
4a+3b-(-2a-3b)
=4a+3b+2a+3b
=6a+6b
=6(a+b)
66 elephants and 22 giraffes; 22x3= 66, 22+66= 88
Answer:
-25
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-12) means x = -12
so you just plug it in the equation and solve for x

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The revenue r(x) from the sale of x coffee mugs is given by
r(x) = 6.5x
the function for the cost of manufacturing x coffee mugs is c(x)= 0.75x + 1850.
Profit = Revenue - cost
P(x) = r(x) - c(x)
P(x) = 6.5x - (0.75x + 1850)
P(x) = 6.5x - 0.75x - 1850
P(x) = 5.75x - 1850
A) profit when x = 500 is
P = 5.75 × 500 - 1850
P = 2875 - 1850
P = 1025
profit when x = 1000 is
P = 5.75 × 1000 - 1850
P = 5750 - 1850
P = 3900
profit when x = 5000 is
P = 5.75 × 5000 - 1850
P = 28750 - 1850
P = 26900
B) The profit function would be
P(x) = r(x) - c(x)
P(x) = 5.75x - 1850
