Answer:

slope = $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = mx + b:

The slope (m) is the rate of change for every<em> x </em>number of labor hours. What this implies is that whenever the input (x-value) or the number of labor hours increases or decreases, the value of y (total cost) will increase by the given slope value.

Slope: The painting company charges $50 for every 1 hour of labor.

The y-intercept (b) represents the flat rate or initial value. In the given problem, it states that the company charges $500 for supplies. This means that regardless of whether the company finishes working on the painting job, they will charge their customers the flat rate.

Combined, the linear equation will be:

y = 50x + 500

a triangle with vertices at A (-1,1), B(-2,1) C(-1,4) is translated. the image of vertex A has coordinate at (3,-1) determine th
Drupady [299]
For this case we have the following vertices:
 A (-1,1) --------> A '(3, -1)
 B (-2.1)
 C (-1,4)
 We note that the translation rule is:
 (x, y) -----------> (x + 4, y-2)
 Applying the translacion rule we have:
 B (-2, 1) -----------> (-2 + 4, 1-2) ------> B '(2, -1)
 C (-1, 4) -----------> (-1 + 4, 4-2) ------> C '(3, 2)
 Answer:
 
The image of vertex B or the image of Vertex C are:
 
B '(2, -1)
 
C '(3, 2)

What is the meaning os slpoe in math and please give an example for <br><br> y=2x-1;(-2,2)
alexira [117]
Slope is your 2x, so 2x over 1 meaning after you plot (-2,2) on the graph you rise 2 and go 1 to the right, or do the opposite to make the line so go down 2 and one to the left. Hope that helped.

"is at most"           is equal to or less than; ≤

"−80"               -80

Put the equation back together:

s + 16 ≤ −80
