Your boss hands you the monthly data that show the number of orders coming in to and out of the warehouse. The data are in the t
able below. Explain to your boss, in complete sentences, the solution to this system and what the solution represents. Month No. of orders in No. of orders out January (1) 3 1 February (2) 4 3 March (3) 5 5 April (4) 6 7
Find the slope of the line using two sets of the data entries. m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Orders out = y value and orders in = x value. I used (3,1) and (6,7) . m=(7-1)/(6-3) which gave me a slope of 2. I then plugged it into the point-slope formula y-y1 = m(x-x1). y-1=2(x-3) which gave me y=2x-5. I would tell my boss for every increase by 1 for an order in creates and output of 2.
Scientific notation is used when a number is really big (example: 11200000000) or really small (example: .000000000002). In this case three of your situations would have really big numbers. That means the answer would be the speed of a car because that would a normal sized number.
