1 answer:

3 0

Elminate the y's
multiiply first euation by 3 and multiply 2nd equation by 2 and ad them

9x-6y=3
<u>16x+6y=4 +</u>
25x+0y=7

25x=7
divide both sides by 25
x=7/25
sub back

3x-2y=1
3(7/25)-2y=1
21/25-2y=1
note: 1=25/25
minus 21/25 fromboth sides
-2y=4/25
divide both sides by -2 (or times -1/2)
y=4/-50
y=-2/25

x=7/25
y=-2/25

(-2/25,7/25)

A manufacturer of bicycles has determined that 550 bikes per month will be sold at a price of $250. At a price of $150, it is es

iogann1982 [59]

750 bikes would be sold for $350

Let x represent the number of bikes sold per month and y represent the price.

550 bikes are sold at a price of $250, this can be represented by (550, 250). Also, 750 bikes is sold at a price of $150, hence it is represented by (750, 150)

A linear function is represented by:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

Therefore the function is:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-250=\frac{150-250}{750-550} (x-550)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-25$
