Jane is given a $100 gift to start and saves $35 a month from her allowance.
After 1 month, Jane has saved
After 2 months, Jane has saved
After three months, Jane has saved
and so on
In general, after x months Jane has saved
This means that it makes sense to represent the relationship between the amount saved and the number of months with one constant rate (in this case the constant rate is 35). It makes sense because the amount of money increases by $35 each month. Since the amount of increase is constant, we get constant rate. Also the initial amount is known ($100), so there is a possibility to write the equation of linear function representing this situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
-1y = -4
Divide both sides by -1 to get y by itself.
-1/-1 = -4/-1
y = 4
It's positive because there are two negatives, which mean they cancel out.
Answer:
y=(8/9)x + 4 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of this line:
change in y/change in x
change in y=6-(-2)=8
change in x=-6-3=-9
change in y/change in x= 8/9
8/9 is the slope, so you plug it in for m in the standard form equation. You then use one point's x and y values to substitute for x and y in the equation, and solve for b, which is the y intercept
y=mx+b
y=(8/9)x+b
-2=(8/9)*3+b
-2=8/3+b
-4 and 2/3=b
Either a pecan or walnut means you add the probabilities together
20% plus 35% equals 55%
