Alicia has 4000 followers on TikTok and gains 250 followers every month. Write an equation that represents her total number of followers, y, after every month, x.
y = 4000 + 250x
True or false: For a function, every input has exactly one output
True
Famous Lunch charges $4 for a drink and $2 for every hotdog. Write an equation that represents the cost, c, after buying h amount of hotdogs.
What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = 3x - 1
m = 3; b = (0, -1)
Jacob went to the corner store to buy his brother a birthday present. He bought a video game for $12.99 and some balloons for $0.50 each. Write an equation that shows the total cost, y, of his purchase after x balloons. Which number represents the constant rate of change?
y = 0.50x + 12.99; m = 0.50
| x | y |
| 2 | 4 |
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 6 |
"b," the coordinate where your line crosses the y axis
UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound. How many pounds, p, will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same?
7 + 0.20x = 5 + 0.30x; x = $20
What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = 6
m = 0; b = (0, 6)
Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet and that it is receding at a rate of 0.5 feet per day. Write an equation for the water level, l, after d days. In how many days will the water level be 26 feet?
l = 34 - 0.5d; d = 16 days
After 3 hours of work, Malachi earned $18. How much did he earn per hour? Write an equation that represents the amount of money he earned, y, after "x" hours.
$6 per hour; y = 6x
Bill weighs 120 pounds and is gaining ten pounds each month. Phil weighs 150 pounds and is gaining 4 pounds each month. How many months, m, will it take for Bill to weigh the same as Phil?
120 + 10x = 150 + 4x; x = 5 months
