James just began a job as a nurse. He is given a starting salary of $66,640 per year. He is also told that his salary will incre

ase to $73,400 in 8 years. Assume that x = the years worked and y = Salary in dollars. Using this information, find the following answers: What is the rate of change of James’ salary? Instructions: Find the slope by first creating two points in the form (years, salary), and then calculate the slope using the correct slope formula.
Create the slope-intercept equation of the line that represents James’ salary.

Include an explanation of what the variables represent and how you know their placement.

Answer:

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

y = 845x + 66640

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the years worked and y = Salary in dollars

When x=0 then y = 66640

when x= 8 then y = 73400

Two points are (0,66640)  and (8,73400)

Rate of change of salary is the slope

To find slope we use formula

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{73400-66640}{8-0} =845

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

Slope intercept form of equation is y=mx+b

m = 845 , b is the y intercept (initial salary)

so y = 845x + 66640

Now we find out salary in 23 years

plug in 23 for x in the y equation

y = 845x + 66640

y = 845(23) + 66640=86075

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075

Answer:

calculus, geometry, arithmetic among a few

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematics is involved in winter Olympics in different aspects like arithmetic which helps in scores, measurements, quantities and motion  of the sport  like hockey, running.

Scoring in ice skating involves arithmetic operation when an individual element is assigned points and  judged on performance level( triple axle is 3 points but overall performance and artistry is measured by the judges).  

Another is Calculus  which helps to understand the change in acceleration and velocities while each skaters start at zero then win, Lines in Geometry such as the finish/start/sight lines helps players with angles of reflection, measuring angles and angles of incidence.
