Answer:

y=75x+150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the number of monitors sold.

Given:

x is the number of years since 1990.

So, for the year 1990, x=0.

For the year 2000, 10 years passed. So, x=10.

Now, monitors sold in 1990 are 150. So, at x=0,y=150

Monitors sold in 2000 are 900. So, at x=10,y=900

Thus, the two points are (0,150) and (10,900).

The slope of a line with points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2})  is given as:

Slope, m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

For the points (0,150) and (10,900), the slope is given as:

Slope, m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\ m=\frac{900-150}{10-0}\\ m=75

Now, the y-intercept is the point where x=0. So, the point (0,150) has x value as 0.

So, the y-intercept is 150.

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given as:

y=mx+b

Where, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Here, m=75 and b=150.

Therefore, the equation that represents the above data is given as:

y=75x+150

Find the area of the rectangle.
umka2103 [35]
The area is length x width which means it would be 14 x 8

14 x 8 = 112 so the area of the rectangle is 112 square ft.
