In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
Answer:
1/4x (8 x - 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
write the division as a fraction
1/2x + 3/2x (x - 5 ÷ 2)
factor out 1/2 from the expression.
1/2x(x + 3(x - 5 ÷ 2))
divide the numbers.
1/2x(x + 3(x - 2.5))
distribute 3 through the parentheses.
1/2x(x + 3x - 7.5)
collect like terms.
1/2x(4x - 7.5)
1/2x(4x - 15/2)
factor out 1/2 from the expression.
1/2 x 1/2 x (8 x - 15)
multiply the fractions
= 1/4 x (8x - 15)
or alternative form
= 0.25(8x - 15)
Answer:
d because the fomula is always (x,y)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question in English is </em></u>
An expanding mobile phone company handled eight hundred and fifty thousand calls a day during the quarter. In the next quarter it expects to reach one million and increase quarterly by the same amount over the next two years. How many daily calls do you expect to handle in two years?
Let
x ----> the number of quarter
y ---> number of daily calls
we know that
we have the points
(0,850,000) and (1,1,000,000)
Find the slope m
The linear equation that represent this situation is
How many daily calls do you expect to handle in two years?
In two years there are 8 quarterly
so
For x=8
substitute
