The function 5w+2 is set up like a slope intercept form function (y=mx+b) where the function of w would b the number of pears each week, 5 is the slope, and 2 is the y-intercept.  One could assume that the number of pears increases each week by a factor of five and the 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow.

Just like the other answer said, it can be assumed that 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow. Which means that 2 is the number of pears at the start. Not sure why that answer got such bad ratings as it clearly answered the question.

a toy store marks down every toy by 15% in January. How much does a toy cost during January? Use p for the price in December.
satela [25.4K]

A toy cost 0.85p in January.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mark down in January = 15%

Let,

Price in December = p

Mark down in January = 15% of price in December

Mark down in January = \frac{15}{100}*p

Mark down in January = 0.15p

Price of toy in January = Price in December - Mark down

Price of toy in January = p - 0.15p = 0.85p

A toy cost 0.85p in January.

Please help and explain.

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula, (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).  In this case, there is a negative slope.  

Start from point, (1, 9) and go to point (4, 8).  

Use the formula:

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Y2 = 8

Y1 = 4

X2 = 9

X1 = 1

(8 - 9)/(4 - 1) = -1/3

Therefore, the slope is -1/3
