Answer:
The value of x is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.
Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:
Both fractions are equal, so:
Applying cross multiplication:
The value of x is 3.
K is the slope of the line formed by connecting the points.
Use slope formula:
where the 2 points are the end points of the line (First and last going Left to right)
Substitute into slope formula
You can check if this is correct by going back to graph and going "up 7" and "over 2" to get from one point to the next.
