First I'd suggest plotting the points on a graph so that you can visualize the problem. What you're trying to find is the area of the triangle that the three points given will form. The area of a triangle is 
where b is the size of the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. From graphing the three points and connecting them, you can see that the base of the right triangle formed is 4 units/gridlines and the height of the right triangle is 7 units/gridlines. SInce the problem specifies that each gridline is 2 feet, that means that the base 4 x 2 = 8 feet, and the height is 7 x 2 = 14 feet. Now you just plug these values into the equation for the area of a triangle to get 
feet squared as the area that will be covered in gravel.

1. Answer:
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
coffee maker costs $70 - this is a one-time flat fee
it costs $0.20 per cup of coffee - this is the unit rate
y = 0.20x + 70
y = 0.20(0) + 70 → y = 0.00 + 70 → y = 70.00
y = 0.20(1) + 70 → y = 0.20 + 70 → y = 70.20
y = 0.20(2) + 70 → y = 0.40 + 70 → y = 70.40
y = 0.20(3) + 70 → y = 0.60 + 70 → y = 70.40

2. Answer:
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
shoes costs $3.00 - this is a one-time flat fee
it costs $1.50 per game of bowling - this is the unit rate
y = 1.50x + 3.00
y = 1.50(1) + 3.00 → y = 1.50 + 3.00 → y = 4.50
y = 1.50(2) + 3.00 → y = 3.00 + 3.00 → y = 6.00
y = 1.50(3) + 3.00 → y = 4.50 + 3.00 → y = 7.50
y = 1.50(4) + 3.00 → y = 6.00 + 3.00 → y = 9.00

3. Answer: Negative
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. Opposite directions results in a negative slope.

4. Answer: Gym A → y = 20x + 50 Gym B → y = 25x + 30
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the slope formula: . Then choose ONE of the points and input the point (x₁, y₁) and slope (m) into the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) and solve for y.
Gym A: (x₁, y₁) = (1, 70) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 90)
y - 70 = 20(x - 1)
y - 70 = 20x - 20
y = 20x + 50
Gym B: (x₁, y₁) = (1, 55) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 80)
y - 55 = 25(x - 1)
y - 55 = 25x - 25
y = 25x + 30
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here,
f(x) = y
or , swapping x with y
now to solve for y we get
now we put f inverse x instead of y
I am done.
