Answer:
2.42
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to use two points from store b to find the slope (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). I chose the first two points. (15.54-25.9)/(1.5-2.5)= 10.36. After you take another point from store b to plug into the equation y1-y2=m (x1-x2). M is the slope we just found and I used the first point.
Y1-15.54=10.36 (x1-1.5) distribute the 10.36 to the parentheses.
Y1-15.54=10.36x -15.54 get y1 by itself
Y=10.36x so store b is 10.36 a pound and store a is 7.94 a pound. 10.36-7.94= 2.42
Answer:
It would be the last option.
This is an awful question. They mean to say the number of hours practicing <em>per week</em> (we'll call it h) varies inversely with the <em>time</em> (t) she runs her event. Unless they mean to imply more practicing makes Tyler slower, in which case she should just get a pizza.
Inverse variation means the product is a constant, we'll call it k.
ht = k
When h = 1 hour t=6 minutes
(1)(6) = k
k = 6 (hour*minutes, but as long as we're consistent we don't need to sweat the unit.)
Decreasing her time by one minute means t = 6 - 1 = 5. We solve for h.
ht = k
h = k/t = 6/5 = 1.2 hours
Answer: 1.2 hours, second choice
