Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82
To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.
Answer:
because 4 + (negative 7) is an equivalent expression, the answer is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 + (-7) = -3
Answer:
33.32 / 9.8 = 3.4;
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Out of every 5 trials, the desired outcome will occur approximately 2 times
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statements states that it will happen exactly two times, but probability never guarantee the outcome
The third and fourth statement states out of 7 which cannot be true as 2-5 basically means out of 5
