dude:

Need help for both 5 and 6?

Nevey:

yea

Nevey:

shadow helped me with 1 - 4 but i think ive bothered shadow enough lmao

dude:

The 5th question is like the first They give you the data, you just have to make the equation

Nevey:

y= -2/3x + 513

Nevey:

i think .-.

dude:

Well lets look at the information is gave us first Do you know what the x and y represent here?

Nevey:

wait hold up that would be the equation but thats not what they are asking here they are telling me to 'In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different.'

Nevey:

x = sandwich y =wraps

dude:

I know, I am just trying to get the equation for both to have something to visually compare Right, what is the cost for each (sandwich and wrap)?

Nevey:

3 for wraps and 2 for sandwiches

dude:

Good and what is the total?

Nevey:

for buying one of each? or the total at the end of the month? one of each = 5 end of month = 1593

dude:

For this month (for question 5 only, they gave us a total)

Nevey:

yea, at the end of the month, in part 5, it says that the total is 1,593

dude:

Yes Since the money earned goes by selling things = total earned Then, \(3x+2y=1593\)

dude:

First month: \(2x+3y=1470\) Second month: \(3x+2y=1593\) They are both written as cost of sandwich\(+\) Cost of wrap = Total earned Looking at these equations, what can you tell?

Nevey:

that the store got more popular in the 2nd month so there was more things sold 0.0

dude:

So they are similar in that the prices were the same but different in that the second month they earned more money :P

Nevey:

XD nah. i can tell that the price at the end of the month,the prices of both the wraps and sandwiches are the same, but Sal earned more money at the end of the 2nd month the 1st month

dude:

Good

Nevey:

so thats what i put then?

dude:

Looks good to me

Nevey:

ok. only 1 prob with it. it has to be in 3 sentences .-.

dude:

Trick for that, change the commas you added into periods. (:

Nevey:

okie

Nevey:

that still only makes 2 sentences .-.

Nevey:

i have about 7 mins left before i gtg

dude:

In month 2, they start with more money without selling anything

Nevey:

ok ty.

dude:

If you want me to explain why, I would be happy to

Nevey:

ok all thats left is 6 now

Nevey:

if u could explain it later thatd be great but i wanna wrap this up before i leave

dude:

\(y=mx+b\) m is the rate b is the starting point

dude:

Where does the graph for 6 start?

Nevey:

at 300, then it goes down to 450. .-.

Nevey:

that doesnt sound right XD

dude:

300 does not go down to 450 lol

Nevey:

yea thts what i thought lmao but 450 also cant go up to 300

Nevey:

i spent at least 2 hours last night trying to figure this stupid thing out

dude:

it starts from 300 and goes down to ~260

dude:

That is beyond the point, we want to find the slope form 2 points

dude:

Let's use (0,300) and (150,200) (x\(_1\),y\(_1\)) (x\(_2\),y\(_2\)) To find the slope use \(\large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Nevey:

200 - 300


150 - 0

dude:

Good

dude:

Now solve it

Nevey:

200 - 300 = -100 150 - 0 = 150

Nevey:

100 ____ 150

dude:

\(-\frac{100}{150}\) You can divide both by 50 to simplify

Nevey:

-2/3

dude:

Good Your equation is \(\large y=-\frac{2}{3}+300\)

Nevey:

thats the answer for 6 correct?

dude:

Yes

Nevey:

ok ty i gtg :)

dude:

Np, take care

Nevey:

have a nice night :)

dude:

Same to you
