You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your answer to #1 is good. You used X for hours at the grocery store and Y for hours at
\n" ); document.write( "the clothing store.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "#2, slope-intercept form to model the earnings?
\n" ); document.write( "You already have earning modeled using two unknown variables X and Y and that was done
\n" ); document.write( "in standard form. Earning is based on two variable terms and this is done properly using
\n" ); document.write( "standard form. Slope intercept form would only isolate one variable for hours or the other.
\n" ); document.write( "You can either solve for X as a function of Y; or solve for Y as a function of X.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "#3, again you could model earnings as a function of X and Y hours. X and Y remain as unknowns.
\n" ); document.write( "You can start with \"7.65X%2B8.5Y=229.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8.5Y=-7.65X%2B229.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y=-%287.65%2F8.5%29X%2B229.5%2F7.65\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28Y=-0.9X%2B30%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This will give number of grocery HOURS on the x-axis and corresponding number of clothing store HOURS
\n" ); document.write( "on the y-axis. The fact MUST be specified this is for earning of $229.5 in a week, and at the specified
\n" ); document.write( "wage rates.\r
