r. They charge the same price for each item that they sell. After selling 10 items, they have $60.00 in their cash box. After selling 25 items, they have $82.50 in their cash box.

The question is an illustration of slopes or rate of change.

The price of each item at the bake sale is $1.50

Let:

  • <em>x represents the number of items</em>
  • <em>y represents the amount in the cash box</em>

<em />

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (10,60.00)

(x_2,y_2) = (25,82.50)

The slope represents the price of each item, and it is calculated using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

So, we have:

m = \frac{82.50 - 60.00}{25 - 10}

m = \frac{22.50}{15}

m = 1.50

Hence, the price of each item at the bake sale is $1.50

The answer is 13 because you would plug in 3(3) which is 9 then you multiply (9)(2) which is 18 they you subtract 18-5 which equals 13

What is the equation of this graphed line?
cestrela7 [59]
First we find the slope by using the slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(0,7)....x1 = 0 and y1 = 7
(8,-2)...x2 = 8 and y2 = -2
now sub...pay attention to ur signs
slope = (-2 - 7) / (8 - 0) = -9/8

now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -9/8
u can use either of ur points...(0,7)...x = 0 and y = 7
now sub into ur formula and find b, the y int
7 = -9/8(0) + b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -9/8x + 7 <==

What is the line slope of (10,5) and (1,9)
sveta [45]
Use the slope formula
y2-y1
m=---------
x2-x1
(rise-->y over run-->x)
so it would be
9-5
m=-------
1-10
and that would simplify to
4
----
-9
and that would be your slope.

Hope that helped :-)
