There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.
N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44
X intercept 1.375
Y intercept -2.2
Answer:
The answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the linear slope formula to solve for m:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2
you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).
m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2
therefore, the rate of change is 2.
