Answer:

P_n=10+90n

Step-by-step explanation:

So it said it was linear and gave us two points on that line: (0,10) and (5,460).

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form where b is the y-intercept or the initial amount of beetles and m is the slope (or rate of change in population to number weeks) of the line.  Our variables (x,y) are really (n,P) here.

The slope of the line can be computed using \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) \text{ are points on the line }.

You can also just line up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over first difference.

Like this:

(5  ,  460)

-(0  ,    10)

--------------

5       450

So the slope is 450/5=90.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.  A graph crosses the y-axis when it's x value is 0.  Luckily, they give us the y-intercept which is (0,10) so b=10.  Your problem gave us this as well and was just asking for the slope of the line.

Anyways the equation is

y=90x+10

or

y=10+90x

or since we are using P and n:

P_n=10+90n

Marcus has hired 3 people to help him with his lawn business. He pays all the same, and he pays them every day. He paid $360 to
deff fn [24]

Hi!

If they each got the same, then they each got 1/3 of the total $360. Therefore, we can divide 360 by 3. We can do this by dividing 36 by 3, 36/3, and that's 12. Then add the 0! 120.

Your sentence could be: "The amount of money each worker got can be represented by 360/3, which is $120."

Hope this helps! :D
