This question has 2 parts. Answer both parts. Sara started with 12 comic books in her collection. She collected the same number

of comic books each month until she had 20 comic books in the 4th month. Ashton started with 2 comic books in his collection and continues to collect 3 comic books each month.
Part A

Interpret the origin on the graph. Also, describe the scale of each axis by telling what does each unit on the x-axis and the y-axis represent.


Part B

Compare the slope and y-intercept for the graphs of each function in terms of the quantities.

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

<u>Sara</u>

Find out the equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope intercept  form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

x is the number of months

y is the number of comic books

we have

b=12\ comic\ books

<em>Find the slope m</em>

we have the points

(0,12) and (4,20)

m=(20-12)/(4-0)\\m=2\ comic/month

substitute

y=2x+12

Each unit on the x-axis represent 0.5 months and each unit  on the y-axis represent 4 comic books

The origin of the graph is the point (0,12), this point represent the y-intercept or the initial value (the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

<u>Ashton</u>

Find out the equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope intercept  form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

x is the number of months

y is the number of comic books

we have

b=2\ comic\ books

m=3\ comic/month

substitute

y=3x+2

The origin of the graph is the point (0,2), this point represent the y-intercept or the initial value (the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

Part B

Compare the slope and y-intercept for the graphs of each function in terms of the quantities

<em>Sara</em>

b=12\ comic\ books

m=2\ comic/month

<em>Ashton</em>

b=2\ comic\ books

m=3\ comic/month

therefore

Sara's graph has the greater y-intercept than Ashton's graph

Ashton's graph has the greater slope than Sara's graph

The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times it’s width. If the deck’s perimeter is 30ft, what is the deck’s area?
ioda

Try this solution (note, this is not the shortest way):

1. if the given length is 'l' and the width is 'w', then according to the condition 4*l=w;

2. according to the condition the perimeter is 30 ft. Formula of the perimeter is P=2(l+w), then 2(l+w)=30;

3. if to substitute '4*l' instead of 'w', the formula of the perimeter (from item no. 2) will be as 2(4*l+l)=30 or 10*l=30 ⇒ l=3 ft. The length is 3 ft.!

4. if l=3 ft., then w=4*3=12 ft. The width is 12 ft.!

5. Area is

A=w*l; A=12*3=<u>36 ft²</u>

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

C) 3,-2,-7,-12

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n+1)=f(n)-5. Therefore, 3,-2,-7,-12 is the sequence that could be generated using this formula.
