Answer:6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
21. The slope is 50.
22. 0
23. y=50x
24. $2600
Step-by-step explanation:
21. The slope of the line is 50. Slope is defined as "rise over run". As the line increases, each segment moves up the y-axis by $50, and to the right on the x-axis 1 segment. (Work: 50 divided by 1)
22. The y-intercept is (0, 0), or simply 0. If you look at the graph you can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the origin. This makes the y-intercept equal to 0.
23. The slope tells you that the student makes $50 every week. The y-intercept is 0. Using the formula y=mx+b, an appropriate equation would be y=50x.
24. The equation found in problem 23 can me used to determine how much a student makes (y) after "x" weeks. Substitute 52 for x to solve for y. This becomes y=50(52). This can be simplified to y=2600. This means that after 52 weeks, the student will have made $2,600.
Just plot the values onto a normal number line
The advantage of the graphing calculator is that you just have to find two independent equations, introduce them in the calculator and it will find the intersection point ot the two graphs.
The equations that you have to introduce are:
1) y = 2.25x + 24
2) y = 2.75x + 23
The algebraic solution, which will give you the same coordinates of the intersection point of the graphs is
2.25x + 24 = 2.75x + 23
2.75x - 2.25x = 24 - 23
0.5x = 1 => x 1 /0.5 = 2.
