You would be able to cut 144 pieces of wire from the spool because 270/1 7/8 (or 1.875) equals 144
Slope is defined as the rate of change, in this case the change in y with respect to x. In standard form for a binomial linear equation, y = mx + b. The constants m and b are the slope and intercept, respectively. For your equation, the slope is -2 and the intercept is 0. The domain (possible values of x) for this graph is (-∞, ∞) and the range (possible values of y) is also (-∞, ∞).
Answer: $245
she makes $35 every week (her wage, i’m assuming) regardless of how many sales she makes.
in order to find out how much money she makes out of her sales, you have to multiply the percentage commission by how much her sales was: so .12x1750 = $210 from sales.
you then add up her wage and her sales money, so $35 from wage + $210 from sales = $245 total for the week
answer: $245
Y = kx
Plug in what we know:
5 = k(8)
5 = 8k
Divide 8 to both sides:
k = 0.625
Plug this back into the equation along with y = 15:
y = kx
15 = 0.625x
Divide 0.625 to both sides:
x = 24
