Answer:

The number of tomatoes must be less than 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephanie and Bryson both grow tomatoes to sell at farmers' markets. Stephanie grew a total of 70 pounds  of tomatoes to sell. She plans to sell the tomatoes for $3.50 per pound. The equation below represents the  profit in dollars, f(x), she will earn by selling x pounds of the tomatoes.

f(x) = 3.50x -110

Bryson plans to sell his tomatoes at a different farmers' market. He grew a total of 90 pounds of tomatoes.

The table below shows the profit, in dollars, he will earn by selling different numbers of pounds of

tomatoes.

Bryson's Tomato Sales

-97.50 -55.00 -12.50 30,00

Profit (dollars)

Pounds of

Tomatoes Sold

10

20

30

40

Solution:

For Stephanie, let x represent the number tomatoes sold and f(x) represent the profit in dollars. The profit is given by:

f(x) = 3.5x - 110

For Bryson, let x represent the number tomatoes sold and y represent the profit in dollars. From the table, the profit can be represented by the points (10, -97.5) and (40, 30). The profit can be gotten using the formula:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-(-97.5)=\frac{30-(-97.5)}{40-10} (x-10)\\\\y+ 97.5=4.25(x-10)\\\\y+97.5=4.25x-42.5\\\\y=4.25x-140

Stephanie profit > Bryson profit

3.5x - 110 > 4.25x - 140

3.5x - 4.25x > -140 + 110

-0.75x > -30

x < 40

Answer:

(-1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula: (x₁ + x₂/2 , y₁ + y₂/2)

Substitute the values into the formula.

(-5 + 3/2 , 3 - 1/2)

(-2/2 , 2/2)
