Y=mx+b
m=slope

or othe way

ax+by=c

slope=-a/b

14x+7y=-9
slope=-14/7=-2

slope=-2

We will put ur equation in y = mx + b form, and the slope will be in the m position.

14x + 7y = -9
7y = -14x - 9
y = (-14/7)x - 9/7
y = -2x - 9/7

y = mx + b
y = -2x + (-9/7)....as u can see, the -2 is in the m position and is therefore the slope.

Luci Lulu opened a cookie store in the mall. She found that the relationship between the price of a cookie, p, and the number of

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The maximum revenue Luci Lulu can make selling cookies in one day is $2,000.

The price Luci Lulu should sell the cookies to make the maximum revenue is $1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have:

x = −2000p + 4000 ..................... (1)

Where;

x = number of cookies sold

p = price of a cookie, p, and the

Revenue function (R) can therefore be obtained as follows:

R = px ……………………….. (2)

If we substitute equation (1) into (2), we will have:

R = p(−2000p + 4000)

R = −2000p^2 + 4000p ……………… (3)

Differentiating equation (3) with respect to p and set it equal to zero, we have:

−4000p + 4000 = 0

Solving for p, we have:

4000 = 4000p

p = 4000 / 4000

p = 1

Therefore, this implies the price Luci Lulu should sell the cookies to make the maximum revenue is $1.

Substituting p = 1 into equation (3), we have:

R = (−2000 * 1^2) + (4000 * 1)

R = (−2000 * 1) + (4000 * 1)

R = −2000 + 4000

R = 2000

This implies that the maximum revenue Luci Lulu can make selling cookies in one day is $2,000.

Dan buys a car for £2200.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The worth of the car after 6 years is £2,134.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount at which Dan buys the car, PV = £2200

The rate at which the car depreciates, r = -0.5%

The car's worth, 'FV', in 6 years is given as follows;

$FV = PV \cdot \left ( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100} \right )^n$

Where;

r = The depreciation rate (negative) = -0.5%

FV = The future value of the asset

PV = The present value pf the asset = £2200

n = The number of years (depreciating) = 6

By plugging in the values, we get;

$FV = 2200 \times \left ( 1 + \dfrac{-0.5}{100} \right )^6 \approx 2,134.82$

The amount the car will be worth which is its future value, FV after 6 years is FV ≈ £2,134.82 (after rounding to the nearest penny (hundredth))
