Suppose that a sales person observes that if an item is priced at $9 per item then 6 items are sold. If 4 items are sold for $11 per item then find a linear equation to model the number y of items sold for x dollars per item. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line.

y = -x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

if an item is priced at $9 per item then 6 items are sold.

Thus, the input is 9 while the output is 6.

Thus, we can say; x, y = (9, 6)

4 items are sold for $11 per item. Thus, the coordinate is; (11, 4)

Now,slope is;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 6)/(11 - 9)

m = -2/2

m = -1

We know that slope intercept form is;

y = mx + c

Let's try the first point.

Thus;

6 = -1(9) + c

6 + 9 = c

c = 15

Thus, equation of line is;

y = -x + 15

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
