-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;

-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.

I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function.  I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ? 
Somebody give me the answer !".

Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:

0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees

You know three points on the line !

(0, 65) ,  (1, 62) ,  and  (2, 59) .

For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept !    ' b ' = 65 .

You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)

So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .

is           <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 4 ft and casts a shadow 2 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad
marshall27 [118]
Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18  Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x        Divide by 2
72/2 = x       
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.

Choose the graph below that has an undefined slope.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line passing through the points (-6,2) and (-6,0).

The slope of a line is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope of first line is

m_1=\frac{0-2}{-6-(-6)}=\infty

The second line passing through the points (0,-4) and (-1,1). The slope of second line is

m_2=\frac{1-(-4)}{-1-0}=-5

The third line passing through the points (0,-6) and (2,-6). The slope of third line is

m_3=\frac{-6-(-6)}{2-0}=0

The fourth line passing through the points (0,6) and (-3,-7). The slope of fourth line is


m_4=\frac{-7-6}{-3-0}=\frac{13}{3}

Since the slope of a vertical line is infinity, Therefore option A is correct.
