In a graph, x represents the number of months since a
business opened, and y represents the total amount of
money the business has earned. the following three
points are from the graph:
(2, 1990) (5, 4225) (9, 7205)
find the slope and y-intercept. explain what each
represents.

The slope is 745 and the y-intercept is 500

The slope means The amount of money increases by $745 per month

The y-intercept means the business opened with initial amount $500

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the question

- The graph represents the relation between the number of months

  since the business opened and the total amount of money the

  business has earned

- The x-axis represents the number of month

- The y-axis represents the amount of money

- In the line the slopes from any two points on the line are equal

- The slope of the line whose end-points are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

  is

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c ,where m is the slope of the line

 and c is the y-intercept

* Lets check is the relation between x and y is linear by calculating the

 slopes between each to points

∵ (2 , 1990) , (5 , 4225) , (9 , 7205) are points from the graph

- m1 is the slope of the points (2 , 1990) and (5 , 4225) , m2 is the slope

 of the points (5 , 42250) and (9 , 7205) , m3 is the slope of the points

 (2 , 1990) and (9 , 7205)

∵

∵

∵

∴ m1 = m2 = m3 = 745

∴ The relation between the number of months and the amount of

   money is linear

* The slope is 745

∵ The form of the linear equation is y = mx + c

∵ m = 745

∴ y = 745 x + c

- The y-intercept means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , c),

  then to find c substitute x and y of the equation by the coordinates

  of any point on the line

∵ x = 2 , y = 1990

∴ 1990 = 745(2) + c

∴ 1990 = 1490 + c ⇒ subtract 1490 from both sides

∴ c = 500

∵ c is the y-intercept

* The y-intercept is 500

* The slope represents the rate of increasing of money per month

∴ The amount of money increases by $745 per month

* The y-intercept represents the initial amount of money when the

  business opened

∴ The business opened with initial amount $500

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
