The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
The identity property shows us that any number that adds zero to itself stays itself. The identity for multiplication tells us that any number multiplied by one is itself.
Hello!
Here a graph of the slope!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I dont really know how to find out the variables but what i assume to do is this:
Find the square root of n and add it to m. The sum of both you divide by p. then when you figure that out, you distribute the x value into the parenthesis. This might be obvious but i looked at this question for 10 minutes and couldnt find the value sorry :(
