Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold. Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work. Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences. Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences. Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology. Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different. Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations.
1 answer:
Slope-intercept form is <em>y</em><em> = </em><em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the <em>y</em>-intercept. To write this in slope-intercept form we must isolate the <em>y</em>:
2x + 3y = 1470
2x + 3y - 2x = 1470 - 2x (subtraction will cancel the positive 2x on the left side of the equation)
3y = -2x + 1470 (since they are not like terms we cannot combine them, we leave them separate)
3y/3 = -2/3x + 1470/3 (cancel the 3 by dividing; EVERYTHING gets divided to keep it equal)
y = -2/3x + 490
The slope of this equation is -2/3 and the <em>y</em>-intercept is 490.
To graph this equation, plot 490 on the <em>y</em>-axis first, since it is the intercept. Then count over to the right 3 and down 2 to find the next point; continue this for all successive points.
In function notation this would be <em>f</em>(<em>x</em>) = -2/3<em>x</em> + 490. This function shows how the profit on wrap specials changes as the number of sandwich specials sold increases. The graph of the function is attached.
The next month, when Sal's profit increased, the function changes because the <em>y</em>-intercept changes. The slope stays the same.
2x + 3y = 1470
2x + 3y - 2x = 1470 - 2x (subtraction will cancel the positive 2x on the left side of the equation)
3y = -2x + 1470 (since they are not like terms we cannot combine them, we leave them separate)
3y/3 = -2/3x + 1470/3 (cancel the 3 by dividing; EVERYTHING gets divided to keep it equal)
y = -2/3x + 490
The slope of this equation is -2/3 and the <em>y</em>-intercept is 490.

Answer for the 1st Question,
Area of a cylinder can be calculated by,
Area of the cylindrical part =
Area of the parts that cover the open parts of cylinder =
Therefor Total are of the cylinder =
Area of the total cylinder =
=
<u>Therefor best estimate will be D) 923 in^2</u>
Answer for the 2nd Question,
ABC is a triangle.
By Pythagorean theorem it says,
The distance from A to C = 6
The distance from C to B = 5
Therefor
<u>Therefor Answer is D) Sqr 61</u>
Answer to Question 3
To find the trend you can draw an imaginary line that fits the scatter plots.(I have attached a image drawing the imaginary lines)
Then the revenue can be calculated by calculating the area covered by the imaginary line drawn or area "under" the curve.
Area of the Store 1 =
Area of the Store 2=
Therefore Revenue from Store 1 = $8250
Revenue from Store 2 = $4400
<u>Answer is A) Store 1 has more sales revenue</u>
Answer for Question 4
You can straight away discard answer D because it is less than both 5/12 and 5/11.
Also you can discard Answer C because 25/264 is very small (less than 1/10=0.1)
, therefor this is not in between those two numbers.
Then it has to be
<u>Answer is B)</u>
Answer for question 6
The equation of a straight line is of the form
here m is the gradient and c is the intercept.
Find the intercept(c) by finding the y value when x value is 0, here it is +1.
Gradient (m) of the graph can be found by,
Therefor the equation of the graph is,
<u>Answer is C</u>
Answer for question 7
We can discard answer A because the value is close to 0.5
We can discard answer B because 3/17 is a very small value (0.17)
, This falls between the above 2 numbers.
<u>Therefor answer is C</u>
