Answer:
r = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for r
by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
First we find the slope between the two given points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-5 - 2)/(7 - 6) = -7/1 = -7
Now we use the slope-intercept equation of a line.
y = mx + b
We use one point as x and y, and we solve for b.
2 = -7(6) + b
2 = -42 + b
b = 44
The equation is
y = -7x + 44
Answer: f(x) = -7x + 44
Answer: it cost a customer $7.25 to buy five tulips and $10.5 to buy six roses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of 1 tulip.
Let y represent the cost of 1 rose.
The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bought seven tulips and nine roses for $25.90. This means that
7x + 9y = 25.9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Another customer bought for four tulips and eight roses for $19.80. This means that
4x + 8y = 19.8- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 7, it becomes
28x + 36y = 103.6
28x + 56y = 138.6
Subtracting, it becomes
- 20y = - 35
y = - 35/ - 20
y = 1.75
Substituting y = 1.75 into equation 2, it becomes
4x + 8 × 1.75 = 19.8
4x + 14 = 19.8
4x = 19.8 - 14 = 5.8
x = 5.8/4
x = 1.45
The cost of 5 tulips would be
1.45 × 5 = $7.25
The cost of 6 roses would be
1.75 × 6 = $10.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first pattern, there were 6 sticks
In the second pattern, there were 10 sticks.
In the third pattern, there were 14 sticks.
Based on the pattern, we see that each time, 4 more sticks are added and that the initial amount of stick is 6.
Thus: the equation for how many sticks there would be in pattern n is:
# of sticks in pattern n = 6 + 4n
Hope that helps!
