To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.
SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.
To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.
To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.
Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.
Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is
y=1/2x+1.5.
Answer:
In 6 months (at the fifth month they are equal in price)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the month as x.
Plan A's equation: 8x + 25
Plan B's equation: 12x + 5
8x + 25 < 12x + 5
Solve.
-4x < -20
x > 5
In 6 months (at the fifth month they are equal in price)
Answer:
360 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed for the outbound trip was ...
speed = distance/time = (715 mi)/(2 1/6 h) = 330 mi/h
The inbound speed was ...
(715 mi)/(1 5/6 h) = 390 mi/h
The airspeed of the plane is the average of these two ground speeds, so is ...
(330 +390)/2 = 360 . . . . mi/h
Answer:
y > -x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is shaded <em>above</em> the <em>dashed</em> line, indicating y-values in the solution are greater than those on the line, so your inequality will start with ...
y >
The y-intercept of the line is (0, -3), so the "b" value in ...
y > mx +b
will be -3.
The line has a rise of -3 for a run of 3 (between the marked points), so the slope is ...
m = rise/run = -3/3 = -1
Then the inequality you want is ...
y > -x -3
6 years
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
x = 6 years to the nearest year
