pls help

OpenStudy (dan815):

dont RUSH ME!

OpenStudy (jack1):

first solve for c (y-intercept) y = mx + c 28 = -0.15 (20) + c c = ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

this is what u got so far, u have a slope and a point on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 31?

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep

OpenStudy (jack1):

so that was the initial credit in $ so what does that equal in minutes (x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay um how do i do this.

OpenStudy (dan815):

do you know to get equation of lines from slope and a point given

OpenStudy (jack1):

y = mx + c c = 31 m=-.15 y=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0=-.15(x)+31?

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, so what does x =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

206.6666 lol thats what i get after 31=-.15x

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, thats how many minutes of calls you can make before your balance drops to 0 now, when x = 7, what does y =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29.95

OpenStudy (jack1):

perfect, there's your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 7 though?

OpenStudy (jack1):

the q states (after 7 minutes of calls) so x = 7 and (what is your balance?) so must be between $31(x=0) and $28 (x=20)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just want to see how pls :D thanks for the other help though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks man!

OpenStudy (jack1):

OpenStudy (jack1):
