Graph and Interpret Applications of Slope–Intercept

Katherine is a private chef. The equation $C=6.5m+42$ models the relation between her weekly cost, C , in dollars and the number of meals, m , that she serves.

1. Find Katherine’s cost for a week when she serves no meals.
2. Find the cost for a week when she serves 14 meals.
3. Interpret the slope and C -intercept of the equation.
4. Graph the equation.

Marjorie teaches piano. The equation $P=35h-250$ models the relation between her weekly profit, P , in dollars and the number of student lessons, s , that she teaches.

1. Find Marjorie’s profit for a week when she teaches no student lessons.
2. Find the profit for a week when she teaches 20 student lessons.
3. Interpret the slope and P –intercept of the equation.
4. Graph the equation.

−$250$450  The slope, 35, means that Marjorie’s weekly profit, P , increases by $35 for each additional student lesson she teaches. The P –intercept means that when the number of lessons is 0, Marjorie loses$250.

Solve one equation for one variable. Using the 2nd equation, x=11-3y. Substitute that for x in first equation. this will find y. then use the value for y to find the value for x.

1) Use any equation, and solve for any of the variables. Since the coefficient of x (the number in front of the x) in the second equation is 1 (it actually isn't shown, but 1 * x = x), use that equation. Subtract 3y from both sides (this isolates the x on the left side of the equal sign).
bruce
2) This results in x=11-3y. x is note in terms of y. Use that as the value of x and substitute for all x in the first equation. The first equation becomes 4(11-3y)+7y =29. Note that the only variable left in the first equation is the y. If you have multiple variable, then something is wrong.
bruce
3) Distribute (multiply) the 4 across 11-3y to get 44-12y. Add this to the 7y. So, the equation is now 44-5y=29.
bruce
4) Solve 44-5y=29 for y. Isolate the y by subtracting 44 from birth sides, resulting in -5y=-15. Now, divide birth sides by -5 (since you have -5y). This results in y=3. You now have the value of one variable.
bruce
5) The last step is to take the value of y from Step 4) and substitute into the 2nd equation. Therefore: x+3y=11 becomes x+3(3)=11. Then multiplying, x+9=11. Finally, solve for x by subtracting 9 from both sides. Therefore, x=2.
bruce
6) The ordered pair of (2, 3) is the proposed solution. To check, substitute those values into either equation. If the result is true, then the solution is correct. 4(2)+7(3)=8+21=29. TRUE! Finished.

app is wrong how can 350 be divisible by 3.
June needs 48 gallons of punch for a party and has two different coolers to carry it in. The bigger cooler is five times as large as the smaller cooler. How many gallons can each cooler hold?
Susanna if the first cooler holds five times the gallons then the other cooler. The big cooler holda 40 gallons and the 2nd will hold 8 gallons is that correct?
Georgie
@Susanna that person is correct if you divide 40 by 8 you can see it's 5 it's simple
