Answer:

y = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Remember: if y and x are directly proportional, you could write a ratio with those values, as follows:

y:x becomes 22:6

You can write an equation with the new value:

y:15 = 22:6

Now solve by cross multiplication. Imagine that those ratios are fractions:

y/15 = 22/6

y*6=15*22

6y=330

y=55

The value of y is 55 when x is 15.

So y=x+5
You would plot the y intercept (0,5) and then go up 1 and to the right 1

The next graph plot y intercept (0,-1) and then go down 2 and to the right 1

And should look like the image

And your solution should be (-2,3) which is option c

Answer:

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Boeing currently produces five models of airplanes for commercial sale. The airline that Lauren works for is rapidly expanding and would like to purchase three airplanes of different models to service various routes. We calculate the number of combinations will she have to analyze.

$C^5_3=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5\cdot 4\cdot 3!}{3!\cdot 2\cdot 1}=10$
