I’m so confused and it would be very helpful if someone helped me or explained it to me

Answer:

y = -7x + 224

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, the m-value.

The m-value is the constant rate at which something changes. For example, if I had 43 bananas and I subtracted 7 each week, the constant rate at which it changed would be -7. Another way to think about it is the amount of something you subtract per period. According to my last example, you subtract 7 each period, which would be a week. This is also called the slope, which is the rate of change, but I'm assuming you won't analyze these graphs until later. Using the situation presented in the problem, the constant rate at which the gym subtracts from Lucy's account is -$7 per period, which is each time Lucy goes to the gym.

Secondly, the b-value, also known as the y-intercept. This is your starting point. Using my last example, I am starting at 43 bananas. Using the example from the problem, Lucy pays $224 dollars in advance to the gym. So, her starting point is $224.

(you don't need to read this if you don't want to, but it might be helpful!) The reason we use this equation is to be able to find the value of x or y at a given point. X is usually time, which is an independent variable, and y is dependent on the situation. In this one, it is how much money Lucy has spent at the gym. So, for example, if you wanted to find out how many trips to the gym it would take for Lucy to run out of her initial amount, $224, you would plug in 0 for y and solve for x.

0 = -7x + 224      *add 7x to the other side, in order to reverse the negative*

7x = 224        *divide by 7 on both sides*

x = 32 trips to the gym

Another way you could use it is if you wanted to find out how much money Lucy had left after she went to the gym 4 times. You would plug in 4 for x.

y = -7*(4) + 224    

y = -28 + 224         *multiply -7 by 4*

y = 224- 28             *adding a negative is like subtracting a positive*

y = $196                  

Hope this helps!

Answer:

uhm the x would be the -7 since she's going to be taking that off and it says she will be paying 224 so its y=-7x+224 (harder to explain than i thought, im sorry if this don't help:(..)

The circumference of a circle is 15π ft. What is the area, in square feet? Express your answer in terms of π.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

  • Area of the circle is 56.25π square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given that</u>:

  • The circumference of a circle is 15π ft.

<u>To Find</u>:

  • What is the area, in square feet?

<u>We know that</u>:

  • Circumference of a circle = 2πR
  • Area of a circle = πR²

Where,

  • Radius is denoted as R.

<u>Finding the radius of the circle</u>:

Circumference of a circle = 15π

⟶ 2πR = 15π

⟶ 2πR = 2π × 7.5

Cancelling 2π.

⟶ R = 7.5

∴ Radius of the circle = 7.5 ft.

<u>Finding the area of the circle</u>:

⟶ Area = πR²

⟶ Area = π(7.5)²

⟶ Area = π × 7.5 × 7.5

⟶ Area = π × 56.25

⟶ Area = 56.25π

∴ Area of the circle = 56.25π ft.²

There are 1,570 souvenir paperweights that need to be packed in boxes. Each box will hold 17 paperweights. How many boxes will b
arlik [135]

Answer:

93 boxes will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 1570 ÷ 17

This gives the answer 92.35

So 92 boxes won't be enough. 0.35 of a box itsn't helpful in the real world. So you need 93 boxes.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -4) and (7, 0)? Write your answer in the simplest form.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The slop is undefined

i.e. m=\infty

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the slope formula

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

As the points are (7, -4) and (7, 0)

Here:

  • (x₁, y₁) = (7, -4)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (7, 0)

\mathrm{When\:}y_1\ne \:y_2\mathrm{\:and\:}\:x_1=x_2\mathrm{\:the\:slope\:is\:}\infty

so

  \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

            =\frac{\left(0-\left(-4\right)\right)}{\left(7-7\right)}

             =\frac{0-\left(-4\right)}{0}

             =\infty    

Therefore, the slop is undefined i.e. m=\infty
