Given:

The total price of apples (y) at an orchard can be calculated with the equation

y=1.25x+5

where, x is the number of pounds of apples picked.

To find:

The interpretation of slope for the given situation.

Solution:

The slope intercept form is

y=mx+b       ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

y=1.25x+5        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=1.25, b=5

Slope = 1.25.

We know that, y is total price of x pounds of apples picked and slope is change in y with respect to x.

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is 1.25 and it means the price increased by 1.25 for each additional pounds of apples.

One canned juice drink is 25​%orange​ juice; another is 10​%orange juice. how many liters of each should be mixed together in or
sertanlavr [38]
               Qty     ·     %      =      Total
Drink 1:    x            .25      =      .25x
Drink 2:   15 - x      .10      =      .10(15 - x)
Mixture:  15            .21     =       .25x + .10(15 - x)

                       (15)(.21)   =     .25x + 1.5 - .10x
                           3.15      =     .15x + 1.5

Pie

Using translation concepts, the coordinates that will best represent point E′ are given by:

D. (11, 1).

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

In this problem, the rule to find the image of a point (x,y) is given by:

(x, y) → (x + 8, y + 5).

Then, the rule to find the image E' of point E(3,-4) is given by:

(3,4 -> (3 + 8, -4 + 5) = (11,1).

Hence option D is correct.

a hiking path is represented by the equation y=3/8x on a coordinate map. The county would like to create a parallel path for bik
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The equation of the bike path on a coordinate map is represented by y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry, we know that resultant parallel line is a translated version of parent line. Two lines are parallel to each other when they share the same slope. The resultant line can be construted from slope-point form:

y-y_{o} = m_{\parallel}\cdot (x-x_{o})

Where:

x_{o}, y_{o} - Components of known point, dimensionless.

m_{\parallel} - Slope of the parallel line, dimensionless.

In addition, a line has also this form:

y = m\cdot x + b

Where:

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

m - Slope, dimensionless.

b - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

Given that parent function is y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x, the slope of the resulting line is m_{\parallel} = \frac{3}{8}. Now, if x_{o} = 16 and y_{o} = 7, we obtain the equation of the line:

y-7 = \frac{3}{8}\cdot (x-16)

y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1

The equation of the bike path on a coordinate map is represented by y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1.
