The cost, Y (in dollars) to provide for guests at a dinner party is proportional to the number x of guests attending the party. It costs 30 dollars to provide food for 4 guests.

Answers

Answer 1

Maybe you missed to add the complete question. After a little research I was able to find the complete question which is as follows:

''The cost y(in dollars) to provide food for guests at a dinner party is proportional to the number x of guests attending the party. It costs $30 to provide food for 4 guests. a. Write an equation that represents the situation. b. Interpret the slope. c. How much does it cost to provide food for 10 guests?''

So, I am solving based on this complete question.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Write an equation that represents the situation.

As the cost and the number of guests are proportional.

So the equation of the form

[tex]y = mx[/tex]

Plug in the values y = 30 and x = 4 to find m

[tex]y = mx[/tex]

30 = m (4)

m = 30/4

    = 7.5

Now, substituting m = 7.5 in the equation y=mx

[tex]y = mx[/tex]

[tex]y = 7.5x[/tex]

b) Interpreting Slope

Given that the units for y are dollars, and the units for x are guests.

Thus, the slope 7.5 means it costs $7.5 per guest.

c) How much does it cost to provide food for 10 guests?''

We know the equation

[tex]y = 7.5x[/tex]

put x = 10

y = 7.5(10)

y = $75

Thus, it costs 75 dollars for 10 guests.

in the graph shown below, if lines 1^1 are parallel, then the slope of the line 1^2 is?

Answers

Answer:

Two lines are parallel if the have the same slope. Example 1: Find the slope of the line parallel to the line 4x – 5y = 12. To find the slope of this line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 4x – 5y = 12 is m = 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

good morning

If the lines l1 and l2 are parallel, then the slope of line l2 is the same as the slope of line l1.

The slope-intercept definition of a linear function is given as follows:

y = mx + b.

For which the parameters are given as follows:

m is the slope, representing the rate of change of the function.

b is the intercept, representing the value of y when x = 0.

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

Hence, If the lines l1 and l2 are parallel, then the slope of line l2 is the same as the slope of line l1.

Tickets numbered 4, 5, 6......48, 49 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One ticket is drawn from the box. Find the probability that the number on the ticket is:
(i) an even number (ii) A number less than 16
(iii) a perfect square (iv) a prime number less than 30.

Answers

Answer:

i) The probability that the number on the ticket is even is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

ii) the probability that the number on the ticket is a number less than 16 is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{6}{23}}[/tex]

iii) The probability that the number on the ticket is a perfect square is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5}{46} }[/tex]

iv) the probability that the number on the ticket is a prime number less than 30 is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{4}{23} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets numbers are: 4, 5, 6......48, 49

So, total tickets in box = 46

We need to find probability that the number on the ticket is:

i) an even number.

Even number in tickets are: 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48

Total number of favourable outcomes = 23

So, the formula used is: [tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}[/tex]

Total number of outcomes = 46

Number of favourable outcomes = 23

Putting values and finding probability

[tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}\\Probability=\frac{23}{46}\\Probability=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the probability that the number on the ticket is an even number is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

ii) A number less than 16

Even number in tickets are: 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

Total number of favourable outcomes = 12

So, the formula used is: [tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}[/tex]

Total number of outcomes = 46

Number of favourable outcomes = 12

Putting values and finding probability

[tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}\\Probability=\frac{12}{46}\\Probability=\frac{6}{23}[/tex]

So, the probability that the number on the ticket is a number less than 16 is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{6}{23}}[/tex]

iii) a perfect square

Perfect squares are: 4,9,16,25,36

Total number of favourable outcomes = 5

So, the formula used is: [tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}[/tex]

Total number of outcomes = 46

Number of favourable outcomes = 5

Putting values and finding probability

[tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}\\Probability=\frac{5}{46}[/tex]

So, the probability that the number on the ticket is a perfect square is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5}{46} }[/tex]

iv)  a prime number less than 30.

Prime numbers less than 30 are: 5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29

Total number of favourable outcomes = 8

So, the formula used is: [tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}[/tex]

Total number of outcomes = 46

Number of favourable outcomes = 8

Putting values and finding probability

[tex]Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:number\:of\:outcomes}\\Probability=\frac{8}{46}\\Probability=\frac{4}{23}[/tex]

So, the probability that the number on the ticket is a prime number less than 30 is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{4}{23} }[/tex]

Verizon charges a $100 initial contract fee, then $70 a month for a basic cell
phone plan. What is the slope (rate of change)?

Answers

Answer:

Slope is rate of change, so define your values.

-$100 is the initial fee

-$70 is charged per month

per month is the constant rate of change

70 is the slope

The slope (rate of change) of the function is 70.

What is a slope?

In mathematics, a line's slope, also known as its gradient, is a numerical representation of the line's steepness and direction

If a line passes through two points (x₁ ,y₁) and (x₂, y₂) ,

then the equation of line is

y - y₁ = (y₂- y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) x (x - x₁)

To find the slope;

m =  (y₂- y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Given:

Verizon charges a $100 initial contract fee,

then $70 a month for a basic cell phone plan.

Let the x be the number of months.

So, the equation,

y = 70x + 100

By comparing with the slope-intercept form,

y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

So, m = 70.

Therefore, 70 is the slope.
