Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that you have a linear function so expect your equation to have this form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. You are also given two points: P1(5, 6) and P2(14, 60). Use these points to solve for the slope m.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (60 - 6)/(14 - 5)

= 54/9 = 6

So our equation now becomes

y = 6m + b

To solve for b, plug in the values of P1:

6 = 6(5) + b ---> b = -24

Therefore, our equation is

y = 6m - 24

The rest of the points are

(8, 24)

(11, 42)

Answer:

1250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y denote the sides of the rectangular research plot.

Thus, area is;

A = xy

Now, we are told that end of the plot already has an erected wall. This means we are left with 3 sides to work with.

Thus, if y is the erected wall, and we are using 100m wire for the remaining sides, it means;

2x + y = 100

Thus, y = 100 - 2x

Since A = xy

We have; A = x(100 - 2x)

A = 100x - 2x²

At maximum area, dA/dx = 0.thus;

dA/dx = 100 - 4x

-4x + 100 = 0

4x = 100

x = 100/4

x = 25

Let's confirm if it is maximum from d²A/dx²

d²A/dx² = -4. This is less than 0 and thus it's maximum.

Let's plug in 25 for x in the area equation;

A_max = 25(100 - 2(25))

A_max = 1250 m²

1. First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.

2. Then consider the rate of discount.

3. To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.

4. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.

2a+b=15.7 what’s the possible values of b

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

b = 15.7 -2a

Step-by-step explanation:

You are asking us to solve for b

2a +b = 15.7

Subtract 2a from each side

2a-2a+b = 15.7 -2a

b = 15.7 -2a
