Answer:

The slope in that equation is 1/3 so you would go up on the coordinate plane one, and over three. The y intercept, is 2. Any linear equation in slope intercept form, y=mx+b, will be set up that way, so hopefully this helps, it's the easiest way to find the slope and y intercept, m is always the slope, and b is always the y intercept. :)

Students are given 3 minutes to complete each multiple-choice question on a test and 8 minutes for each free-response question.

Let

x------> the number of multiple choice question

y------> the number of free response question

we know that

$3x+8y=55$ -----> equation A

$x+y=15$

$x=15-y$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$3[15-y]+8y=55$

$45-3y+8y=55$

$5y=55-45$

$5y=10$

$y=2$

Find the value of x

$x=15-y$

$x=15-2=13$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the number of multiple choice question are $13$

the number of free response question are $2$

Help me i don't understand the problem

Mashutka [201]

The question is asking you to find out what number is a fraction of something. For example, the problem on the top right is asking 35 is 50% (one half) of a number so what you have to do is multiply 35 times 2 and the answer is 70

Answer:

$551

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum profit is found where the derivative of the profit function is 0.

y' = -2x +62 = 0

x = 62/2 = 31

Then the maximum profit is ...

y = (-x +62)x -410

y = (-31 +62)(31) -410 = 961 -410 = 551

Assuming the profit is in dollars, the maximum profit the company can make is 551 dollars.
