The slope is 6.cuse the slope also means sometimes 6
Answer:
Part A) see the explanation
Part B) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and C, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
Let
C ---> is the total cost (represent the output or dependent variable)
x ----> is the number of books (represent the input or independent variable)
In this problem
we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and C
Part B) we know that
The linear equation is given by

The constant of proportionality k is the same that the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
In this problem the constant k is given

so

For x=12 books
substitute in the equation and solve for C

In function notation

The restaurant served 70 specials in all, 80% of which were salmon filets. It says to find salmon filets that the restaurant served last night.
So we just need to find 80% of 70.
Therefore, Number of Salmon Filets = 0.8*70 = 56.
Hence, the restaurant served 56 salmon filets.
Answer:
$1000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of years.
We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.
Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.
The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.



Therefore, the value of lawnmower after years would be $1000.
