A linear equation has a standard form of:

y = mx + b

where in this case,

y = amount of money in tip jar, m = slope, x = number of hours, b = y intercept

 

We select any two paired data to calculate for the slope:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

m = (18.25 – 15.50) / (5 – 4)

m = 2.75

 

y = 2.75x + b

 

Choosing any one data pair to calculate for b the y-intercept:

15.50 = 2.75 (4) + b

b = 4.5

 

Therefore there was $4.50 in the tip jar during the opening.

 

Answer: $4.50

Answer:

4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

from the table, we can tell the tip increases by 2.75 per hour

the 3rd hour: 15.50-2.75=12.75

the second hour: 12.75-2.75=10.00

the 1st hour: 10.00-2.75=7.25

the 0 hour: 7.25-2.75=4.50

so there was 4.50 in the jar

you roll a number cube twice. find p(even, then not 2). Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.
aksik [14]
For the first roll, you expect that you would get an even number. Since there are six sides of a die, then there are 3 ways to get an even number which are numbers 2, 4 and 6. So the probability of an even number is 3/6 or 1/2.
Next for the second roll, you expect that you should not get a number 2. There are 5 ways occurring which are 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. So the probability for this is 5/6.
Multiply the two probabilities because both probabilities will occur for this event.
P(even, then not 2) = (1/2)(5/6) = 5/12

The balance on a car loan after 4 years is $8,996.32. The interest rate is 5.6% compounding annually. What was the initial value
NISA [10]
To evaluate the initial value we use the formula:
A=P(1+r)^n
where
A=future value
P=principle amount
r=rate
n=time
thus plugging in our values we get:
8996.32=P(1+5.6/100)^4
solving for p we shall have:
8996.32=1.2435P
hence:
P=$7234.5
Thus the initial amount was $7234.5

which ordered pairs in the form (x, y) are solutions to the equation 3x−4y=21 ? Select each correct answer. (−1, −6) (−3, 3) (11
Valentin [98]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the equation

Substitute the x and y values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are a solution.

(- 1, - 6)

3(- 1) - 4(- 6) = - 3 + 24 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(- 3, 3)

3(- 3) - 4(3) = - 9 - 12 = - 21 ≠ 21 ← not a solution

(11, 3)

3(11) - 4(3) = 33 - 12 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(7, 0)

3(7) - 4(0) = 21 - 0 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

The ordered pairs (- 1, - 6), (11, 3), (7, 0) are solutions to the equation
