1) Anna and Jason have summer jobs stuffing envelopes for two different companies. Anna earns $20 for every 400 envelopes she fi

nishes. Jason earns $10 for every 250 envelopes he finishes.
A) Create tables, draw graphs, and write equations that show the earnings, y, as functions of the number of envelopes stuffed, x, for both Anna and Jason.

B) Who makes more from stuffing the same number of envelopes? Explain how you know using the information above.

C) Anna has savings of $100 at the beginning of the summer and she saves all of her earnings from her job. Graph her savings as an equationof the number of envelopes she’s stuffed, n. How does this graph compare to her previous earnings graph? What is the meaning of the initial value and slope in each case?

D)You survey 6 other employees and findthe following data on envelopesstuffed (x) and dollars earned(y). Plot a trend lineon the graph. Find the equation of the trend line.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) i)

For Anna initially, she has $0 from making 0 envelopes. Anna earns $20 for every 400 envelopes. Let x represent the number of envelopes and y the earnings. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 0) and (400, 20). Using the equation of a line:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-0=\frac{20-0}{400-0}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{20} x

The table is:

x:   200     400       600     800     1000

y:    10        20          30        40       50

ii)

Jason has $0 from making 0 envelopes. For every 250 envelopes he has $10. Let x represent the number of envelopes and y the earnings. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 0) and (250, 10). Using the equation of a line:

y-0=\frac{10-0}{250-0}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{25} x

x:   200     400       600     800     1000

y:    8         16           24        32       40

The graph is plotted using geogebra online graphing

b) From the table of Anna and Jason we can see that Anna makes more stuffing than Jason for the same number of envelopes.

c) Anna has a savings of $100 initially. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 100) and (250, 10). Using the equation of a line:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-100=\frac{20-0}{400-100}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{15} x+100

Therefore from the graph there is a y intercept at 100. That is the earnings starts initially is $100.

The equation of a line is given as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (initial value of y at x = 0)

For the first graph, the slope is 1/20 with an initial value of 0 while for the second graph the slope is 1/15 with an initial value of 100

D) The trend line pass through the points (10, 10) and (100, 40), hence:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-10=\frac{40-10}{100-10}(x-10)\\\\y-10=\frac{1}{3} (x-10)\\\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}

What is the parallel line and slope of a perpendicular like for 3x+5y=4
jonny [76]

Answer:

a line parallel has the same slope and different y-intercept, and the slope of the perpendicular line would be -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 4

5y = -3x + 4

y = -3/5x + 4/5

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew \frac{1}{12} of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be \frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}.

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by \frac{3}{3} and the second by \frac{4}{4}.

This makes the expression \frac{9}{12}-\frac{8}{12}, which equals \frac{1}{12}.

**This content involves adding and subtracting fractions, which you may want to revise. I'm always happy to help!

A football team tries to move the ball forward as many yards as possible on each play, but sometimes they end up behind where th
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Given:

The distances, in yards, that a team moves on its first five plays are 2, 21, 4, 3, and 25.

Solved:

1. The greatest number is 25

2. If the moved distances are square, which one is largest?

3. The move which is greater than 4 is considered "big play"

=> 21 and 25 are big play (21 > 4, 25 > 4)

Hope this helps!

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = (x – 5)2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)2 – 2?
Andreas93 [3]

The parent. function shifted up by 6 units to produce x + 1 and to the left by 9 units

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

This is a way of changing the position of an object on an xy-plane.

Given the parent function expressed as  y = (x – 5)^2 + 7

From the resulting image after translation, we can see that the parent. function shifted up by 6 units to produce x + 1 and to the left by 9 units
