You should find the slope using (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = m
m = (18 - 0) / (10 - (-1))
m= 18 / 11
Therefore the slope is 18/11
PART A:
The generic equation of the line is:
y-yo = m (x-xo)
First we look for the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
m = -1000
Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
(xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
Substituting:
y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
Rewriting:
y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
y = -1000x + 9000
The equation is:
y = -1000x + 9000
PART B:
For the price of 3.50 we have:
y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
y = 5500
First isolate y
3x + 2y = 14
-3x -3x
2y = -3x + 14
y = -3/2x + 14/2
y = -3/2x + 7
X-intercept is found when y = 0
0 = -3/2x + 7
-7 = -3/2x
x = 14/3
x-in. = (14/3,0)
Answer:
5x^2 + 3x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x^2 + x + 3) + (3x^2 + 2x + 1)
Combine like terms
(2x^2 + 3x^2 + 2x+ x + 3 + 1)
5x^2 + 3x +4
