Answer:
Your answer would be B: $25.20
24 x 5% is 1.2
$24 + 1.2 is 25.2
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that y2 means y^2 or y squared. In that case, your factors will be (6y+1) and (6y-1).
To find how much lemonade the pitcher can hold, you will add the amounts that he drank and remained to get a total. This total would be the starting amount.
8 oz + 8 oz + 24 oz = 40 ounces
The pitcher originally held 40 ounces of lemonade.
Broken down into steps:
1. Find the slope of the line segment that connecs the points (0,-7) and (4,-15).
2. Start with the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y-b = m(x-a), where the given point is (a,b). Borrow the value of m that you calculated in (1), above, and insert it into this point-slope formula.
Finish up by subst. the x- and y-values in (-3,6) into this formula.
Done!
You could, of course, solve this result for y if you wished.
