Answer:

  $1025

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line to write a function that gives Justin's salary as a function of his sales.

We start with (sales, salary) = (400, 500) and (700, 575)

__

The 2-point form of the equation of a line is ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  salary = (575 -500)/(700 -400)(sales -400) +500

  salary = 75/300(sales -400) +500

For sales of 2500, this will be ...

  salary = (1/4)(2500 -400) +500 = (2100/4) +500 = 1025

Justin's salary after selling $2500 in merchandise is $1025.

Determine whether y varies with x. If so, find the constant of variation and write the function rule.
ira [324]

Answer:  Yes, y does vary directly with x.

Constant of variation = 1/4

The function rule is  y = (1/4)x

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.

If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Solving for k gets us k = y/x

For each row, divide the y value over the x value

  • row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
  • row two:  k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
  • row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25

Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.

So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x

The mean of six test scores is 83.what is the sum of the six test scores?
Fittoniya [83]
Mean = total score : frequency
mean x frequency = total score

so
83 = total score : 6
83 × 6 = total score
498 = total score

so the sum of the 6 test scores is 498
