y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents = $\frac{50}{100}=0.5$ dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Answer:

$y=0.46591x+7.71591$

Step-by-step explanation:

Labelled points are $(21,\: 17.5)=(x_1,\:y_1) \: \&\:(43,\: 27.75)=(x_2,\:y_2)$

Slope of line (m) $=\frac{27.75-17.5}{43-21} =\frac{10.25}{22} =\frac{41}{88}$

Equation of line in point - slope form is given as:

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

$\therefore y-17.5= \frac{41}{88} (x-21)$

$\therefore y= \frac{41}{88} x-\frac{861}{88}+17.5$

$\therefore y= \frac{41}{88} x+17.5-\frac{861}{88}$

$\therefore y= \frac{41}{88} x+\frac{1,540-861}{88}$

$\therefore y= \frac{41}{88} x+\frac{679}{88}$

$\therefore y=0.465909091x+7.71590909$

$\therefore y=0.46591x+7.71591$
