<u>Answer</u>

y - 6 = -14/11(x + 4)


<u>Explanation</u>

slope = (change in y)/ (change in x)

          = (6 - -8) / (-4 - 7)

         = 14/-11

         = -14/11

Equation

-14/11 = y - 6)/(x - -4)

-14/11 = (y - 6)/(x + 4)

-14(x + 4) = 11(y - 6)

y - 6 = -14/11(x + 4)


The answer is the third one.

It costs a family of two $25 to go to the state fair, and a family of six $65. Find the equation, rate of change, and initial va
motikmotik

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Family of 2

Cost, C1 = $25

Family of 6

Cost, C2 = $65

Given that 2 points are given above as the following in coordinate form:

A(2,25) and B(6,65)

Rate of change is given as = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (65 - 25)/(6-2)

= 40/4

Therefore,

(y - y1)/(x - x1) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(y - 25)/(65 - 25) = (x - 2)/(6 - 2)

(y - 25)/40 = (x - 2)/4

(y - 25) = 40/4 × (x - 2)

(y - 25) = 10 × (x - 2)

Expanding,

y - 25 = 10x - 20

y = 10x - 20 + 25

y = 10x + 5

The cost for a certain music plan is 9.99 per year plus $.025 per song you download if you paid $113.74 one year find the number
garri49 [273]
Y=amount of money paid.  (in $)
x=number of songs download.

We have this function:
y=0.25x+9.99

Then:
if y=113.74

113.74=0.25x+9.99
0.25x=113.74-9.99
0.25x=103.75
x=103.75 / 0.25
x=415

Answer: the number of songs downloaded would be 415.

Plz help with this word problem
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Well, this problem is best solved by setting up a system of two linear equations.

A linear equation can be defined 
y=mx+b
where 
b=initial value (when x=0), and
m=rate of increase or decrease.

In the given example, the x-axis represents hour, and the y-axis, number of cells.

Chemical #1 
initial value = b = 12000 cells
rate = m = -4000 / hr
The equation is therefore 
y1=-4000x+12000......................(1)

Similarly, for chemical #2
initial value = b = 6000 cells
rate = m = -3000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y2=-3000x+6000 .......................(2)

The time the two will have an equal sized colony would represent the solution of the system of equations (1) and (2), i.e. when  y1=y2
which means
-4000x+12000 = -3000x+6000
transpose and solve for x
4000x-3000x = 12000-6000
1000x=6000
x=6 hours.

At 6 hours from the start, 
y=-4000x+12000 = -4000*6+12000 = -24000+12000 = -12000 cells

So the solution is x=6, y=-12000, or (6,-12000)

Physical interpretation
Since cells cannot have a negative number, the two are actually equal before six hours, when they are both zero.
Case 1: y=0 when x=3
Case 2: y=0 when x=2

Therefore, after three hours, both trials will have zero cells.

You have to judge whether to give the mathematical solution (x=6,y=-12000) or the physical interpretation (x=3, y=0) as the answer.

A box of cereal states that there are 87 calories in a 3​-4cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories per​ cup? How many ca
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: for 2 cups, There are 232 Calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the calories in one cup be represented as C

 Therefore

3/4 x C = 87 calories

C = 87 X 4 / 3 = 116

unit rate is 116 calories per cup.

Step 2- Solving the number of calories in 2 cups

1 cup serving = 116 calories

2 cups servings = 116 x 2= 232 calories
