Answer:

$y=\frac{-1}{3} x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let frame the equation of the line using the points given on the graph

(0,3) and (3,2)

Equation of the line is y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

To find slope we use formula

$slope =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{2-3}{3-0} =\frac{-1}{3}$

Y intercept b is the point where the graph crosses y axis

y intercept b = 3

The equation y=mx+b becomes

$y=\frac{-1}{3} x+3$

Answer:

y = -1/3x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (2-3)/(3-0)

-1/3

Then we know the y intercept( where it crosses the y axis)

It crosses at y=3

The slope intercept form is

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/3x +3

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit

Ann [662]

Let
x--------> the number of sandwich lunch specials sold
y-------> the number of wrap lunch specials sold

we know that
2x+3y=1470

Part 1) Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

we know that
the equation to slope-intercept form is of the form
y=mx+b
so
2x+3y=1470------> solve for y
3y=1470-2x-----> divide by 3 both sides
y=(-2/3)x+1470/3
y=(-2/3)x+490

the slope m=-2/3
the y-intercept is 490

Part 2) Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.

the slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 490

Plot the point (0,490)------> the y-intercept.
With the slope count 3 squares to the right and 2 squares down and plot that point, which is (0+3,490-2)--------> (3,488)
Draw a line through the two points

Part 3) Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.

In function notation, the equation is:
f(x)=(-2/3)x+490
The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.

Part 4) 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

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

Part 5) 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

we have that
2x+3y=1593
3y=1593-2x--------> y=(-2/3)x+531
slope=(-2/3)
y intercept=531
therefore
similarities : same slope
differences : y intercepts are different.
This is basically telling me that the lines are parallel lines because they have the same slope.

6) 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

Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates

Let
A( 0,300) B (450,0)
a) find the slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)----> m=(0-300)/(450-0)----> m=-2/3
b) with the slope m=(-2/3) and the point A (0,300)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-300=(-2/3)*(x-0)----> y=(-2/3)x+300

the answer Part 6) is
y=(-2/3)x+300

Sue wants to paint the longest wall in her bedroom pink. she measured the wall and found that it is 10 feet long and 8 feet tall

jekas [21]

Answer:

Sue should buy 1.6 quart of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out the area of longest wall

Area =length × breadth

Area= 10 × 8 = 80 square feet

To cover 50 square feet we have required 1 quart of paint

So for covering 1 square feet we have required 1/50 quart of paint

So for covering 80 square feet we have required ( 1×80 ) / 50 quart

= 1.6 quart of paint

A pure acid measuring x liters is added to 300 liters of a 20% acidic solution. The concentration of acid, f(x), in the new subs

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer How many liters of a 20% acid solution should be mixed with 30 liters of 50% acid solution in order to obtain a 40% solution. ... x=15 liters 15*(.20 pure acid)=3 liters 30*(.50 pure acid)=15 liters That is 18 liters pure acid That is 45 liters solution *0.45 pure acid=18 liters.

As more pure acid is added, the concentration of acid approaches 0.
