Question

Karen has a part-time job babysitting, where she earns $6 per hour. She also walks dogs and earns $4 per dog that she walks. Her monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.

Answer 1

What's the question?

Answer 2

I'm typing the questions now

Answer 3

Take your time

Answer 4

1. Each partner must change the equation that represents his or her chosen college student to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
2. Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.
3. Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
4. Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology.

Answer 5

I have 1-3, but I need help on 4. I put the other questions so I can check to see if I have them right.

Answer 6

Alright

Answer 7

So do you know the basics of graphing functions?

Answer 8

Not really

Answer 9

Ok that's fine. I'll try to explain the basics

Answer 10

Okay

Answer 11

so the equation you are supposed to graph is 6x + 4y = 700?

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

Ok.

Answer 14

Do you have a program called GeoGebra?

Answer 18

Alright

Answer 19

My FLVS teacher recommended that I use GeoGebra to help with graphing

Answer 24

alright so I'll just tell you how to graph it

Answer 25

Okay

Answer 26

Your y-intercept is 175

Answer 27

and the slope is \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 28

Is it down 3/2 or up 3/2

Answer 29

down -3/2 sorry

Answer 30

It's fine.

Answer 31
