Answer:
a) -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is fundamentally rise/run; The points on the line are relative to each other by decreasing/increasing the y-value of +/-5 and decreasing/increasing the x-value by +/-4
The function is decreasing so the slope has to be negative.
The only possible answer choice is -5/4 or a.
To determine the equation to represent this situation, we can use 2.5x to show the amount of profit per product, and a y intercept value of -550 to show the cost for rent. Now, we have the equation y=2.5x-550.
The break even point is when the profits balance out the expenses, so in this case, y should equal 0.
0=2.5x-550
Add 550 to both sides...
550=2.5x
Divide both sides by 2.5...
x=220
So, our answer is 220 products.
Answer:
b = square root of 44 or approx. 6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -2, proven below.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 7 + 2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) - 4
3x + 7 + 8x + 2 = 3x - 3 - 4
9 + 11x = 3x - 7
16 + 11x = 3x
16 = - 8x
-2 = x
