The equation would be:
y = 3x + 15
1) Table: It is pretty easy to do so, just plug in 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. for x and solve for y
2) graph (find slope): slope would be 3 shells/day that has a y-intercept of 15
3) you already defined the variables
4) 3(5)+15 = 15+15 = 30 seashells
I hope this helps!
Answer: -7
Step-by-step explanation: x=3 and y=2
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.
Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence
10 gallons of gasoline sold = $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.
