Answer:
a) The rate of change is 3.5
b) The rate of change represents the price of a single cookie. $3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) To determine the rate of change along the graph, select a pair on the graph as;
(2,7) and (8,28)
Rate of change, m= change in y/change in x
m=28-7/8-2 = 21/6 =7/2 = 3.5
b)
The equation of the relationship can be written as;
y=3.5 x + 0 where y is the amount collected and x is the number of cookies sold.
The slope here represents the price per cookie in $, $3.5

= 6 - 12 + 9x
= 9x - 6

Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.
Let y represent the length of the third side.
The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that
2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1
Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that
x = y + 10
Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes
2(y + 10) + y = 65
2y + 20 + y = 65
2y + y = 65 - 20
3y = 45
y = 45/3 = 15
Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes
x = 15 + 10 = 25
