the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality
however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.
and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.
Y= 10 + 1.25x
This is the answer because 10 is the initial fee (you start with it) and 1.25 is added for each minute, with each minute being the variable
A minus x plus b equals c
Answer:the number of kids that used the public pool that day is 122
the number of adults that used the public pool that day is 92
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of kids that used the public pool that day.
Let y represent the number of adults that used the public pool that day.
214 people used a public swimming pool. This means that
x + y = 214
1.50 for kids and $2.25 for adults. The receipt totaled to $390. This means that
1.5x + 2.25y = 390 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 214 - y into equation 1, it becomes
1.5x
1.5(214 - y) + 2.25y = 390
321 - 1.5y + 2.25y = 390
- 1.5y + 2.25y = 390 - 321
0.75y = 69
y = 69/0.75 = 92
Substituting y = 92 into x = 214 - y, it becomes
x = 214 - 92 = 122
It is simplified as much as it can go.
