Marissa researched the cost to have custom T-shirts printed by several local and online vendors. She found that each store’s cha
rge for the job could be modeled by a linear function that combined a flat charge for artwork with a per T-shirt rate. Marissa plotted the functions on a coordinate grid and found that two of the functions produced lines that had the same y-intercept. How should Marissa interpret this result?
2 answers:
The graph that represents possible functions is shown in the diagram below. Point C shows the point on y-axis where f(x) and g(x) crosses. The result should be interpreted by the level of steepness of each slope
g(x) has a steeper gradient than f(x) and this indicates steeper fee rise for producing the T-shirt. So if Marissa is to choose the better value for her money to produce T-shirt, she should choose the function f(x) providing there are no other factors to consider other than prices.

Answer:
On this case if we analyze both slopes, we see that function 2 has a greater rate of change because have a slope greater on absolute value than the slope for Function 1 (|-5|>|4|). No matter if the sign is positive or no we are analyzing the rate of change and for this case we need to use the absolute value to find the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following two functions:
Function 1: y = 4x + 8
Function 2:
x y
2 20
4 10
6 0
We can find the slope for the second function like this:
And in order to find the intercept we can use any point for example (2,20) and we got:
And then
So our function 2 is given by:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's answer these questions in an all-encompassing kind of explanation. If you plot the vertex and the directrix, you see that the vertex is below the directrix. Because of the fact that a parabola opens AWAY from the directrix, and wraps itself around the focus, we know it's an upside down parabola of the form
The p value from the equation is a distance, specifically the distance between either the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. The vertex is exactly in the middle of the directrix and the focus. So that tells us that the focus is 3 units below the vertex (because the directrix is 3 units above the vertex). We also know from this that p = 3.
Filling in the equation with a vertex of (0, 0) which is our h and k respectively:
which simplifies to
and multiplying both sides by -1:
. This is not standard form, but it matches what your equation is in the choices. So to sum up:
The focus is located at (0, -3) and the first choice is true.
The parabola opens upside down and the second choice is not true.
The p value is found by counting the units between the vertex and the directrix, so the third choice is not true.
We solved the equation by filling in the values for h, k, and p and got that the equation in the fourth choice is true.
So the fifth choice is not true.
