An art studio charges a start-up fee to cover art supplies, plus an additional fee per class. The graph shows the total cost for
different numbers of classes. Find and interpret the rate of change and initial value
1 answer:
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
✔️The rate of change can be calculated using the coordinates of any two points on the graph. Let's use (2, 60) and (3, 75):
Rate of change (m) = 15
✅In the context of this situation, the rate of change can be interpreted to be the additional fee per class. Thus, an additional fee per class cost $15.
✔️Initial value is the same as the y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept (b), substitute m = 15, x = 2, and y = 60 into y = mx + b.
Thus:
60 = 15(2) + b
60 = 30 + b
60 - 30 = b
30 = b
b = 30
The initial value/y-intercept = $30
✅In this context, $30 is the start-up fee to cover art supplies.

Remember that the area of a square is just one of its sides squared. 
where
is the area of the square
is one of the sides of the square
Unit square is a square whose sides have length 1, so lets use our formula to find the volume of one unit square:
We now know that each one of the squares has area 1 unit squared. Since there are 28 unit square in our figure, we are going to multiply the area of a unit square by 28 to find the area of our figure:
Area of the figure=
units squared
We can conclude that the area of the figure is 28 units squared.
