Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Slope (m) using the two points (2, 4.58) and (5, 4.28):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4.28 - 4.58}{5 - 2} = \frac{-0.3}{3} = -0.1

Slope (m) = -0.1

✔️Initial Value = y-intercept = b

To find b, substitute x = 2, y = 4.58, and m = -0.1 into y = mx + b.

(Note: y is P(t) and x is t).

Thus:

4.58 = (-0.1)(2) + b

4.58 = -0.2 + b

Add 0.2 to both sides

4.58 + 0.2 = b

4.78 = b

b = 4.78

Initial value = 4.78

✔️Equation for the linear function:

Substitute b = 4.78, and m = -0.1 into P(t) = mt + b

Thus the equation would be:

P(t) = -0.1t + 4.78

✔️The y-intercept = initial value = 4.78

✔️The x-intercept = the value of t when P(t) = 0.

To get this, substitute P(t) = 0 into P(t) = -0.1t + 4.78.

Thus:

0 = -0.1t + 4.78

Add 0.1t to each side

0.1t = 4.78

Divide both sides by 0.1

t = 47.8

x-intercept = 47.8

A boy has only dimes and quarters in his piggy bank. if he has 70 coins worth 12 dollars and 40 cents altogether, how many quart
dlinn [17]

Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

The total cost of an order of gift baskets includes the cost of each gift basket plus a one time delivery fee. The cost of each
Helen [10]

Answer:

x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5

y = one time delivery fee = $135

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost of each gift basket

y = one time delivery fee

40x + y = 715 (1)

400x + y = 5935 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

400x - 40x = 5935 - 715

360x = 5220

x = 5220/360

x = 14.5

Substitute x = 14.5 into (1)

40x + y = 715 (1)

40(14.5) + y = 715

580 + y = 715

y = 715 - 580

y = 135

x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5

y = one time delivery fee = $135
