Answer: y = 6x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use slope formula to find the slope of a line that passes through two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂)

<h3>m = ∆y/∆x = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁ </h3>

Given points are: P(x₁ , y₁) = (-2, -5) and Q(x₂ , y₂) = (-1, 1)

Substituting these two known points in the slope formula, we have:

m = (1-(-5))/(-1-(-2)) = 1+5/-1+2 = 6/1 = 6  

Now we can use the point-slope formula to write the equation of a line given a point on the line and the slope of the line:

m = 6 , given point P(x₁,y₁) = (-2, -5)

<h3>Formula = (y-y₁) = m(x-x₁) </h3>

(y-(-5)) = 6(x-(-2))

y+5 = 6x + 12

y = 6x + 12 -5

y = 6x + 7

Answer: y = 6x + 7

First find the slope(m)



Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1= (1-(-5))/(-1-(-2))= 6/1 = 6

Then find the y intercept (move up six and right one from (-1, 1) to get (0, 7)

The y-intercept is y=7

Now make the equation

Y= slope(x) + y-intercept

Y=6x+7

Answer:

  • 9.5
  • maximum, 34.5, 5
  • 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to use a graphing calculator to graph the function.

The "start" is x=0, where the distance from the sprinkler head is 0 feet. The value of h(0) is 9.5, the height of the sprinkler head.

  • The irrigation system is positioned <u> 9.5 </u> feet above the ground.

The graph shows the vertex of the curve is (5, 34.5), meaning that a height of 34.5 feet is reached 5 feet horizontally from the sprinkler.

  • The spray reaches a <u> maximum </u> height of <u> 34.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet away from the sprinkler head.
  • The spray reaches all the way to the ground at about <u> 10.9 </u> feet away.

The graph shows the x-intercept at about 10.9. That is where the height of the spray is 0 feet above the ground.

Given that the monthly cell phone bill is determined by a fixed monthly fee of $35 for 300 anytime minutes and $.40 for each additional minute used.

Dependent variables can be the result of more than one independent variable.

Consider your phone bill as presented above. Aside from being charged for minutes over 300, you are charged $1.25 for each directory assistance call and $.75 per minute for long distance roaming calls. You also have to contribute at least $1.50 to the federally required Universal Service Fund per month and this value may vary on your phone bill but is not an independent variable.

<span>To write an equation expressing your monthly cost using the below independent and dependent variables.

Let x = additional minutes used, then the cost for additional minutes used is given by 0.4x.

Let d = number of directory assistance calls made, then the cost for directory assisitance is given by 1.25d.

Let r = number of long distance minutes used, then the cost for long distance minutes is given by 0.75r.

Let u = USF monthly charge.

Let y = total monthly bill, therefore the total monthly bill is given by

y = 0.4x + 1.25d + 0.75r + u</span>
