Algebra.Com's Answer #464207 by Edwin McCravy(20060)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the record company charges you $12 for five cds, and $20 for nine cds. How much would you pay for fifty cds. \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "We must get the equation.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Let y = the total cost and x = the number of cds.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "So when x = 5, y = $12 and\r\n" ); document.write( " when x = 9, y = $20\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "So the problem becomes:\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Find the equation of the line through the points (5,12) and (9,20)\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Slope formula:\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "m = \n" ); document.write( "How much would you pay for fifty cds? \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 50\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( " y = 2x + 2\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( " y = 2(50) + 2 \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( " y = 100 + 2\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( " y = 102\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Answer $102.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Edwin\n" ); document.write( " |
