Answer:

  $880

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the rent charged, then the number of $40 increments of increase will be ...

  (r -800)/40

and the number of occupied apartments will be ...

  120 -5(r -800)/40

The gross income (g) will be the number of apartments times the rent charged, or ...

  g = r×(120 -5(r -800)/40) = (1/8)r(1760 -r)

The equation describes a parabola with zeros at r=0 and r=1760. The vertex will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between those zeros. The maximum gross income will be had when the rent is 1760/2 = 880.

$880 should be charged for rent to maximize gross income.

Can someone please help me I don’t understand this. I keep getting it wrong

Answer:

K- (-8, -2)

L- (2, -2)

J- (-8, -5)

M- (2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices refer to the points where the lines connect, or corners. In this problem they're represented by K, L, J, and M.

The current coordinates are-

K- (-8, -4)

L- (2, -4)

J- (-8, -7)

M- (2, -7)

Since the Y coordinate refers to vertical distance and the X coordinate refers to horizontal distance, translating them two units up would involve adding positive two to each y coordinate.

Therefore the new coordinates would be

K- (-8, -2)

L- (2, -2)

J- (-8, -5)

M- (2, -5)

Hope this was helpful! Sorry if I messed up askdjasjk
