8x - 2y = 48, y =4
8x - 2(4) = 48
8x - 8 = 48
8x = 48+8
8x = 56
x = 56/8 = 7
x = 7

Answer:
- y = 0.937976x +12.765
- $12,765
- $31,524
- the cost increase each year
Step-by-step explanation:
1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...
... y = 0.937976x + 12.765
where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.
2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.
3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.
4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.
5. [not a math question]
That person is getting $14.50 more. Since he gets a 5% increase from the set $290, you must multiply .05 (the percentage) with 290 (that person's original load payment). When you do so, you get $14.50 and that would be how much more the person is getting paid.
Answer:
Slope is 5/3
y-intercept = -3
y = 5/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below
7-2 = 5
6-3= 3
Now you have your slope which is 5/3
Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-2 = 5/3(x-3)
y-2=5/3x-5
add two to both sides to get Y by itself
y = 5/3x - 3
now you have your y-intercept, which is -3
Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y
7 = 5/3(6)-3
7=7
12= 5/3(9)-3
12=12
