Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Formally....

The two data points are (4,180) and (6,280).

The slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (280-180)/(6-4) = 100/2 = 50; so the equation is y = 50x+b.

Use either data point (I chose the first) to determine the value of b:

180+=+50%284%29%2Bb

180+=+200%2Bb

 

b+=+-20

The equation is y = 50x-20.

Informally....

(You should understand that the algebraic solution is just a formalization of common sense.)

The additional 2 hours brought in an additional $100; the rate is $50 per hour.

After 4 hours, the actual dollar amount was $180. $50 per hour for 4 hours would be $200; so the dollar amount is $20 less than $50 per hour.

$20 less than $50 per hour in algebraic notation is

50x-20

First we need to find the slope of the linear function. To do so, we can use the following equation:

m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.

In this case, time in hours is along the x-axis, and money in dollars is along the y-axis.

The two points are (4 hours, $180) and (6 hours, $280). Now plug the values into the slope equation:

m = (180 - 280) / (4 - 6) = (-100)/(-2) = 100/2 = 50.

Now plug one of the points and the slope into the equation for point-slope form:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 180 = 50(x - 4)

Solve for y to get the equation in slope intercept form:

y - 180 = 50x - 200


ANSWER:


y = 50x - 20

How do you Factor this equation
algol [13]

Answer:

(x+4)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle number is 8 and the last number is 16. Factoring means we want something like (x+_)(x+_). We need two numbers that add together to get 8 and multiply together to get 16. The number 4 works perfectly in this equation. That's why (x+4)(x+4) is the factor of the equation x^2 + 8x + 16.

What transformation was not done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function shifted <em>left</em> five units instead of <em>right</em> five units.

There's no vertical compression in the equation provided, but that's probably just a typo since there's a random bracket that I assume was supposed to be a fraction.

Li believes that the graph shows a direct variation. Why is Li incorrect in saying that the graph shows a direct variation?
padilas [110]

Answer:

Option 2) When the x-value is 0, the y-value is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <em>and the line passes through the origin </em>

Remember that in a direct variation

For x=0, the value of y is equal to zero too

therefore

The graph is not a direct variation , because

When the x-value is 0, the y-value is 1.
