Answer: 37 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
24-8.50 is 15.50 she wants to save 6.25, so, 15.50-6.25 is 9.25. 9.25 divided by the cost of each candy (0.25) is 37
The point-slope form of the equation of the line is:
(y - y1) = m (x - x1)
So, (y + 2) = - 1/3 (x - 4) in the point-slope form is:
[y - (-2) ] = (-1/3) [ x - 4 ]
You must, then realize that the line passes through the point (4,-2) and its slope is - 1 /3.
That slope, -1 / 3, means that the function is decresing (because the slope is negative), and it decreases one unit when x increases 3 units.
Now you can fill in the blanks in this way:
Plot the point (4, -2), move 1 unit down, and 3 units over to find the next point on the line.
$1.50 because 0.15 x 10 is 1.50
What about that equation do you need....that’s not a question
