ANSWER TO QUESTION 7
Independent Variable: Number of Chairs Painted(p)
Dependent Variable: Paint Left(L)
To represent the relationship using a graph, we draw two perpendicular axis, wth Number of Chairs Painted(p) on the horizontal axis, and Paint Left(L) on the vertical axis.
Then we plot the points
[tex](0,\:\:128)[/tex], [tex](1,\:\:98)[/tex], [tex](2,\:\:68)[/tex], [tex](3,\:\:38)[/tex].
Using a straight edge, we draw a straight line through the points as shown in the diagram attached.
From the graph the slope is given by
[tex]Slope=\frac{60}{-2}=-30[/tex]
and the y-intercept is
[tex]c=128[/tex]
The equation is given by
[tex]L=mp +c[/tex]
That is
[tex]L=-30p +128[/tex]
In words, Paint level is reducing at a rate of [tex]30[/tex]oz
ANSWER TO QUESTION 8
Independent Variable: Number of snacks purchased(s)
Dependent Variable: Total Cost(c)
To represent the relationship using a graph, we draw two perpendicular axis, with Number of snacks purchased(s) on the horizontal axis, and Total Cost(c) on the vertical axis.
Then we plot the points
[tex](0,\:\:18)[/tex], [tex](1,\:\:21)[/tex], [tex](2,\:\:24)[/tex], [tex](3,\:\:27)[/tex].
Using a straight edge, we draw a straight line through the points as shown in the diagram attached.
From the graph the slope is given by
[tex]Slope=\frac{3}{1}=3[/tex]
and the y-intercept is
[tex]c=18[/tex]
The equation is given by
[tex]C(s)=ms +c[/tex]
That is
[tex]C(s)=3s +18[/tex]
In words, the Total cost increases is reducing at a unit rate of [tex]3[/tex]
ANSWER TO QUESTION 9
Independent Variable: Number of flight of stairs climbed(n)
Dependent Variable:Elevation (ft above sea level),E
To represent the relationship using a graph, we draw two perpendicular axis, with Number of flight of stairs climbed(n) on the horizontal axis, and Elevation (ft above sea level),(E) on the vertical axis.
Then we plot the points
[tex](0,\:\:311)[/tex], [tex](1,\:\:326)[/tex], [tex](2,\:\:341)[/tex], [tex](3,\:\:356)[/tex].
Using a straight edge, we draw a straight line through the points as shown in the diagram attached.
From the graph the slope is given by
[tex]Slope=\frac{15}{1}=15[/tex]
and the y-intercept is
[tex]c=311[/tex]
The equation is given by
[tex]E(n)=mn +c[/tex]
That is
[tex]E(n)=15n +311[/tex]
In words, the unit rate of rising above sea level is [tex]15[/tex]
