A game show contestant earns y dollars for completing a puzzle in x minutes. This situation is represented by the equation y = -250x + 5000. How long did a contestant who earned $500 take to complete the puzzle?
Justify your answer

it took them 18 minutes to earn $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−250x+5000=500

Step 2: Subtract 5000 from both sides.

−250x+5000−5000=500−5000

−250x=−4500

Step 3: Divide both sides by -250.

−250x

−250

=

−4500

−250

x=18

18 min

Step-by-step explanation:

-250x+5000 = 500

-250x= -4500

x=18

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.
