A linear function has the form : f(x)=ax+b

we are given that 

f(0)=a*0+b=b is <span>$14,500.

so the sales in the first year were </span>$14,500.

f(1) gives the sales in the second year     (year 83)
f(2) gives the sales in the third year          (year 84)
.
.
f(5) gives the sales in the sixths year        (year 87)


the slope of the line, a, is given by : 

\frac{f(5)-f(0)}{5-0}= \frac{65,500-14,500}{5}= 10,200

thus,

S=ax+b=10,200x+<span>14,500
</span>

Answer: S=10,200x+14,500

Meryl needs to cut down 10.5 trees for every 555 cabins she builds.
inysia [295]

<u>Answer: </u>

6.3 trees.

<u>Step-by-step explanation: </u>

We have been given that Meryl needs to cut down 10.5 trees for every 5 cabins she builds.

Let us find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 1 cabin by dividing 10.5 by 5.

Now let us multiply 2.1 by 3 to find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 3 cabins.

Therefore, Meryl needs to cut down 6.3 trees, if she builds 3 cabins.
