Let's start with the first problem. So Part 1 states that they want an equation of the total cost to the UK. According to the introductory sentences, how much do you have to spend to call one minute in the UK?

bm717:

@zarkam21

zarkam21:

23 cents

bm717:

Alright. So that 23 cents means 23 cents for every minute in the UK. We have to write a formula for that, and a formula always includes a x and y variable. The standard equation for a linear line is y=mx. What do you think m would be?

zarkam21:

You there?

zarkam21:

y=23x

bm717:

Very close :) It's actually supposed to be y=.23x, because it is 23 CENTS. Ready to go on?

bm717:

@zarkam21

zarkam21:

Sure that would be the answer to question 1 part I right?

bm717:

Yes. Did you get that down?

zarkam21:

Yes !

zarkam21:

x=.21y for part II

bm717:

Alrighty. Knowing what you've learned from Ms. Sarah the Harvard teacher (JK LMAO) Try number 2

bm717:

Oh nvm lmao good job, just switch x and y :D Y is always the outcome variable

zarkam21:

So i got that right? !

bm717:

clap

zarkam21:

Haha

bm717:

Yeash Try number three by yourself :D You're actualluy catching on very fast

zarkam21:

.75>-(.21y)+(.23x)

bm717:

I'm crying with tears GOOOOOOOD JOB HOLY I caught two mistakes however :D The value 75 is not CENTS, it's dollars, so it can be 75 without the decimal point. The other mistake is that the inequality sign is wrong. Since it has to be up to 75 dollars, the inequality sign should have a line underneath like this \[\ge\]

zarkam21:

\[75\ge(.21y)+(.23x)\]

bm717:

My tears ;-;-;

zarkam21:

Lmao

zarkam21:

And then i would graph 75≥(.21y)+(.23x) this on the graph right?

Vocaloid:

yes

bm717:

ty @Vocaloid for the back up :)

LIke this

bm717:

Remember to shade the right part!

bm717:

Alright ready for part 5?

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

And yes ready

bm717:

Alrighty So all you need is your graph. If you look at the graph, do you think 200 minutes on each country would work? Tell me how you got your answer

zarkam21:

Yes because it is shaded at the 200 region

bm717:

Da answer is noh ;-; Make a coordinate out of the two numbers. (200,200) If you plug that in, it is nowhere close to the shaded part.

zarkam21:

OH i see what you mean

zarkam21:

i thought you meant (200,0) and (0,200)

bm717:

It meant both :) So I guess I did mislead you a bit Sorry about that

zarkam21:

So the answer for Part V would be No, because at the coordinate (200,200) the graph is not shaded meaning both of the countries cannot call for a total of 200 minutes without exceeding the value of your calling card

bm717:

You right :D Good job

zarkam21:

Thank you so much.
