Question

Please help out with this worksheet please i would appreciate it

Answer 1

Answer:

1. slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(6,38), (9,32)

(32-38)/(9-6) = -6/3 = -2

38 = -2(6) + b

38 = -12 +b, b = 50

y = -2x + 50

2a. Slope = -80, the slope means how many cars left per hour after closing. Y- intercept = 600, cars in lot during closing.

2b. use the equation: y = -80x + 600

Plug in 3 into the equation

y = -80(3) + 600, y = -240 + 600, y = 360 cars

2c. For it to have 0 cars, plug in 0 for y

0 = -80x + 600

-600 = -80x, solve for x

x = 7.5 hours
