The answer would be -105. If you multiply 7 x -15 it would give you -105 and then you would have to divide -105 by 7 and its equal to -15.
Any linear function is of the form y=mx+b
Here m is slope and b is y intercept.
Slope is difference in y divided by different in x values .
In the question for 5 persons cost is $100 and for 10 persons cost is $162.50
So the points are (5,100) and (10,162.50)
Slope m=
=12.50
We can find the value of b by taking m=12.50 and (x,y)=(5,100)
Substitute these values in y=mx+b
100=12.50(5)+b
100=62.50+b
Subtracting 62.50 both sides
b=100-62.50
b=37.5
a) Put m=12.50 and b=37.50 to get the equation
y=12.50x+37.50
b)Rate of change is the m value or the slope of the function.
Initial value that is (5,100) gives us one of the points to find the rate of change.
Answer:
250ft
Step-by-step explanation:
45ft + 45ft of fencing for the two short ends. 80ft +80ft for the two long sides
45ft+45ft=90ft
80ft+80ft=160ft
90ft+160ft=250ft
Answer:
x = 6 or x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x - 6) (x + 7) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 7 = 0
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 6 or x + 7 = 0
Subtract 7 from both sides:
Answer: x = 6 or x = -7
