Question

MODELING REAL LIFE A charm bracelet costs $65, plus $25 for each charm. The equation -25x+y=65 represents the cost y (in dollars) of the bracelet, where x is the number of charms.
a. Graph the equation.

b. How much does a bracelet with three charms cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

B = $140

Step-by-step explanation:

for part A, the graph is linear line with a Y intercept at (0,65) so this means that if you were to have no charms it would cost 65 dollars, since the y axis represents cost. then for every 1 increment on the x axis (number of charms) the Y value increases by 25 so the slope is $\frac{25}{1}$

we also can conclude that there is no negative domain since you cannot have negative charms, and the range begins at 65 since you cannot get a bracelet for less money

for part B, y=25x+65

so for three charms, x is represented as 3 so y=25(3) +65 which is 75+65=y= $140
