Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
16x=-112
x=-112/16
x=-7

The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
(0,-1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - (-1) / (1 - 0) = (4 + 1)/1 = 5
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now we sub
4 = 5(1) + b
4 = 5 + b
4 - 5 = b
-1 = b
equation is : y = 5x - 1...answer C
Answer:
The answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you subtract 3 from both sides and get 10. Then you divide by 2 and you get 5.
