To make the equation easier so that you don't have to use fractions.
Answer:
c) bajo: $1.62; mediano: $1.80; grande: $2.03
Step-by-step explanation:
Insert numbers from the table into a linear equation (ignore time column) and use Cramer's Rule.
55x+53y+54z=299.12
17x+22y+25z=117.89
30x+23y+29z=148.97
x, bajo = 1.62
y, mediano = 1.8
z, grande = 2.03
Slope = (-7+4) / (7-1) = -3/6 = -1/2
using point (1,-4)
equation y + 4 = -1/2(x - 1)
answer is C.
y + 4 = -1/2(x - 1)
Break into 2 equatins to get x's:
2x-6<4 and 2x-6>-4
Solve for x in both:
2x-6<4
2x<10
x<5
2x-6>-4
2x>2
x>1
Graph both inequalities on the same number line:
<---0-----1-----2-----3-----4-----5-----6--->
