11 answers

To solve for x in terms of y in the equation of a line \( y = mx + b \):

  1. Start with the equation: \[ y = mx + b \]

  2. Subtract \( b \) from both sides: \[ y - b = mx \]

  3. Divide both sides by \( m \): \[ x = \frac{y - b}{m} \]

So the correct response is: x = y − b over m (x is equal to the fraction with numerator y minus b and denominator m).

Which of the following tables represent a linear function with the same slope as y = 2 - 3x ?

Select 2 that apply.

(2 points)
x 2 4 6 8 10
y 10 8 6 4 2

x 2 4 6 8 10
y 25 19 13 7 1

x 0 1 2 3 4
y 2 5 8 11 14

x 0 1 2 3 4
y 2 4 6 8 10

x 0 1 2 3 4
y 10 7 4 1 -2

x 2 4 6 8 10
y 4 10 16 22 28

The equation \( y = 2 - 3x \) can be rewritten in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where the slope \( m \) is -3. Thus, we are looking for tables that represent a linear function with the same slope of -3.

To determine the slope of each table, we can calculate the slope between any two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) using the formula:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Let's analyze the provided tables:

  1. Table 1: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \ \hline y & 10 & 8 & 6 & 4 & 2 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (2, 10) and (4, 8): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{8 - 10}{4 - 2} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 \]

  2. Table 2: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \ \hline y & 25 & 19 & 13 & 7 & 1 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (2, 25) and (4, 19): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{19 - 25}{4 - 2} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3 \]

  3. Table 3: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ \hline y & 2 & 5 & 8 & 11 & 14 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (0, 2) and (1, 5): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{5 - 2}{1 - 0} = \frac{3}{1} = 3 \]

  4. Table 4: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ \hline y & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (0, 2) and (1, 4): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{4 - 2}{1 - 0} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \]

  5. Table 5: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ \hline y & 10 & 7 & 4 & 1 & -2 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (0, 10) and (1, 7): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{7 - 10}{1 - 0} = \frac{-3}{1} = -3 \]

  6. Table 6: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \ \hline y & 4 & 10 & 16 & 22 & 28 \ \end{array} \] Slope between (2, 4) and (4, 10): \[ \text{slope} = \frac{10 - 4}{4 - 2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \]

Conclusion:

The tables that represent a linear function with the same slope as \( y = 2 - 3x\) (slope -3) are:

  • Table 2
  • Table 5
The equation of Line 1: 4x - 2y = 16

The equation of Line 2: y = -4/5x + 2

The equation of Line 3: y - 4 = 3 (x + 5)

Which statement is true?

Responses

Line 3 has a decreasing graph
Line 3 has a decreasing graph

Line 2 has the biggest y-intercept
Line 2 has the biggest y-intercept

Line 2 has an increasing graph
Line 2 has an increasing graph

Line 1 has the greatest slope.
Line 1 has the greatest slope.

Line 3 has the greatest slope
Line 3 has the greatest slope

Line 1 has the biggest y-intercept

Let's analyze each line's equation and characteristics to determine which statement is true.

Line 1: \(4x - 2y = 16\)

First, we will convert it into slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\):

  1. Rearrange: \[ -2y = -4x + 16 \]
  2. Divide by \(-2\): \[ y = 2x - 8 \]
  • Slope: 2 (increasing)
  • Y-intercept: -8

Line 2: \(y = -\frac{4}{5}x + 2\)

This is already in slope-intercept form:

  • Slope: \(-\frac{4}{5}\) (decreasing)
  • Y-intercept: 2

Line 3: \(y - 4 = 3(x + 5)\)

Convert to slope-intercept form:

  1. Distribute the 3: \[ y - 4 = 3x + 15 \]
  2. Add 4: \[ y = 3x + 19 \]
  • Slope: 3 (increasing)
  • Y-intercept: 19

Summary of attributes:

  • Line 1:
    • Slope: 2
    • Y-intercept: -8
  • Line 2:
    • Slope: -\(\frac{4}{5}\)
    • Y-intercept: 2
  • Line 3:
    • Slope: 3
    • Y-intercept: 19

Evaluating the statements:

  1. Line 3 has a decreasing graph: False (Line 3 is increasing).
  2. Line 2 has the biggest y-intercept: False (Line 3 has the biggest y-intercept).
  3. Line 2 has an increasing graph: False (Line 2 is decreasing).
  4. Line 1 has the greatest slope: False (Line 3 has a greater slope).
  5. Line 3 has the greatest slope: True (slope = 3 is the greatest).
  6. Line 1 has the biggest y-intercept: False (Line 3 has the biggest y-intercept).

Conclusion:

The true statement is: Line 3 has the greatest slope.

Ryan is tracking how much money he has each week.

He started with $60.

He spent $5 per week for the first 6 weeks.

He spent $10 per week after week 6 until the money's all spent.

Let's analyze the scenario carefully to fill in the responses for parts A, B, and C:

A. The graph of the scenario would be nonlinear because the rate of change changes.

  • This is true because for the first 6 weeks, Ryan spends $5 per week (a constant rate), and after week 6, he spends $10 per week (a different constant rate). This change in spending rate means that the graph will not represent a single linear function; it will have segments of linear behavior but will not be globally linear throughout.

B. The y-intercept for this scenario would be (0, 60) meaning Ryan started with $60 in his account.

  • The y-intercept is indeed where \(x = 0\) (the start of the tracking), and at that point, Ryan has $60.

C. The rate of change is negative because as the weeks increase, the money decreases.

  • This is correct because as time progresses (weeks), the total money Ryan has is decreasing due to his spending, and thus the rate of change is negative.

Summary of Responses:

A. The graph of the scenario would be nonlinear because the rate of change changes.

B. The y-intercept for this scenario would be (0, 60) meaning Ryan started with $60 in his account.

C. The rate of change is negative because as the weeks increase, the money decreases.

The line crosses the x-axis at (7/100, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 1/20).

To find the x and y intercepts of the equation \(7x + 5y = 100\):

Finding the x-intercept:

To determine the x-intercept, we set \(y\) to 0 and solve for \(x\):

\[ 7x + 5(0) = 100 \] \[ 7x = 100 \] \[ x = \frac{100}{7} \]

So, the x-intercept is at the point \(\left(\frac{100}{7}, 0\right)\).

Finding the y-intercept:

To determine the y-intercept, we set \(x\) to 0 and solve for \(y\):

\[ 7(0) + 5y = 100 \] \[ 5y = 100 \] \[ y = \frac{100}{5} = 20 \]

So, the y-intercept is at the point \((0, 20)\).

Summary of intercepts:

  • x-intercept: \(\left(\frac{100}{7}, 0\right)\)
  • y-intercept: \((0, 20)\)

Correct Response:

Therefore, the correct statement is: The line crosses the x-axis at \((\frac{100}{7}, 0)\) and crosses the y-axis at \((0, 20)\).

Michele has $25. She plans to save $10 per week until she has a total of $75.

Which equation matches this scenario?

(1 point)
Responses

10x + y = 25
10x + y = 25

y - 55 = 10(x - 3)
y - 55 = 10(x - 3)

y + 4 = 10 (x - 65)
y + 4 = 10 (x - 65)

y = 10x - 25

To find the equation that matches Michele's savings scenario, let's first define the variables:

  • Let \( y \) be the total amount of money Michele has after saving.
  • Let \( x \) be the number of weeks she saves.

Michele starts with $25 and plans to save $10 each week. The goal is to reach a total of $75.

Formulating the Equation

  1. Michele starts with $25, so we can express the total amount after \( x \) weeks as: \[ y = 25 + 10x \]

  2. We want to find out when \( y \) reaches $75: \[ 75 = 25 + 10x \] Solving for \( x \): \[ 75 - 25 = 10x \] \[ 50 = 10x \] \[ x = 5 \] This means she will have $75 after 5 weeks.

Now let's check which of the given options can be rearranged into the form \( y = 25 + 10x \).

  1. Option 1: \( 10x + y = 25 \)

    • Rearranging gives: \[ y = 25 - 10x \] (Does NOT match.)
  2. Option 2: \( y - 55 = 10(x - 3) \)

    • Expanding gives: \[ y - 55 = 10x - 30 \] \[ y = 10x + 25 \] (Does NOT match.)
  3. Option 3: \( y + 4 = 10(x - 65) \)

    • Expanding gives: \[ y + 4 = 10x - 650 \] \[ y = 10x - 654 \] (Does NOT match.)
  4. Option 4: \( y = 10x - 25 \)

    • This is already in slope-intercept form, but if we wanted to move it around: \[ y = 10x - 25 \] (Does NOT match.)

Conclusion

None of the provided equations perfectly match Michele's scenario expressed as \( y = 25 + 10x \).

The closest rewrite consistent with the information is: \[ y = 10x + 25 \] However, since that is not an option, none of the options provided are accurate descriptions of her savings scenario. If an option that looks like \( y = 10x + 25 \) was provided, that would have been the correct answer.

You may want to check the options again, as the values suggested do not correspond to the initial scenario described.
