Iam desperate! 95 points for correct ! 1543 pages is $77.40, 7361 pages is $368.30 using a linear equation with $250 in budget how many pages can you print. write steps!

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to find the equation of a straight line that passes through two points

Let x = the number of pages

and y = the cost

Then the coordinates of the two points are (1543, 77.40) and (7361, 368.30).

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

In other words, the cost is 5¢ per page.

(b) Calculate the y-intercept

(c) Write the equation for the line

y = 0.05x + 0.25

That is, the cost is 25¢ plus 5¢ per page

(d) Calculate the pages you can print for $250

The figure below shows the graph of your equation, with slope 0.05 and y-intercept at (0,0.25).

It looks as if you could print 5000 pages, but you must pay that 25¢ (5 pages worth) up-front, so you can print only 4995.

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.  

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
