Stephen is in first grade, and his class is creating pasta necklaces! There are two types of pasta to use on the necklaces: long macaroni pieces, and small rotelle pieces which look like wheels with spokes. The directions are to have no more than 35 pieces of pasta on a necklace, and each string is long enough to hold 20 macaroni noodles or 55 pieces of rotelle.

Solve for x, y, and z. show all steps.

In which form is the following function written? y = - 2(x – 3)(x + 5)

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x): x f(x) −1 −5 0 −1 1 3 g(x) g(x) = 2x − 7 part a: write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x). (6 points) part b: which function has a greater y-intercept? justify your answer. (4 points)
