Answer:
-1/3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept is y = mx + b
The m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The equation is:
y = -1/3x + 5

Answer:
5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is given by the slope formula:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (16.5 -11)/(3 -2) = 5.5/1
m = 5.5
The rate of change of this function is 5.5.
Joe : x
jim : y
x+y=16
y=1.50+x
x + 1.50 + x = 16
2x = 14.5
x = 7.25
7.25 + y = 16
y= 8.75
Joe : $7.25
Jim : $8.75
Answer:
17. See below
18. 750
Step-by-step explanation:
17. Since the lollipops are being sold at the same price, 50 cents, for each one sold, they make a constant amount of money. For each increase in lollipops sold, there is a constant increase in money made, and thus the situation is a linear function.
18. To solve this equation, let's say y is the money made at the convention in dollars and x is the number of lollipops sold. If the principal gave them 125 dollars before they sold any lollipops (0 lollipops sold), then 125 is the y-intercept of the function, and in the equation y=mx+b, b=125. If each lollipop costs 50 cents (half of a dollar), then for each lollipop, x, sold, .5 dollars are made and are added to the profit, y. Thus, .5 dollars is the slope. The equation then becomes:

Now, if they need 500 dollars, y is thus equal to 500 dollars. Solving the equation:






Thus, 750 lollipops must be sold.
