Write an equation to represent Mr. Kimball's total pay p after sellingd dollars of software. 9) USE A MODEL In 2006, the average ticket price for a National Football League game was $62.38. Since then the cost has increased an average of $2.54 per year. Write a linear equation to represent the cost C of an NFL ticket y years after 2006. 10) TYPING Nebi has already typed 250 words. He then starts a timer and finds that he types 150 words in 3 minutes. If Nebi types at a constant rate, write a linear equation to represent the number of words w Nebi types m minutes after starting the timer.arrow_forwardWhile on vacation your family decides to rent a canoe. The cost of the rental is a deposit of $10 plus $28 per day. 2. (a) What does each variable represent? X = y = (b) Write an equation to model the total cost of renting a canoe for any number of days. (c) Graph the equation. Label axes, scales (both x & y), and y-i сept. (d) Use the equation to find the cost of renting a canoe for 3 days. Indicate on your graph the same solution.arrow_forwardPediatric growth charts suggest a linear relationship between age (in years) and median height (in inches) for children between 2 and 12 years of age. Two year olds have a median height of 35 inches and 12 year olds have a median height of 60inches. Generate an equation to describe height as a of age. A) H(a)= -2.5a + 30 B) H(a)= 2.5a + 35 C) H(a)= 2.5a - 30 D) H(a)= .4a - 12 E) H(a)= 2.5a + 30arrow_forward

Let H be the plant's height (in centimeters) after M months. Write an equation relating H to M . Then graph your equation using the axes below.arrow_forwardMichael threw a ball into the air from the top of a building. The height of the ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation h = -16t2 + 64t + 60, where t is the elapsed time, in seconds. Graph this equation on the set of axes below. h 1501 140- 130 120- 110- 100- 90- 80- 70- 60- 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- 1 2 3 4 Time (in seconds) Determine the average rate of change, in feet per second, from when Michael released the ball to when the ball reached its maximum height. Height (in feet)arrow_forward
- Direction: Read the situation and answer the guide questions below to help Juanita and Mario determine who walks faster. Just yesterday Juanita and Mario were given assignments to record the measured distance and time spent in walking from their home to the school.Mario’s home is 400 meters while Juanita is 200 meters away from the school. It took 400 seconds for Juanita while Mario needed 200 seconds to reach the school.Guide Questions1. At constant distance,how is speed related to the time of travel?2. At constant time to travel,how is speed related to the distance travelled?3. Who was travelling faster than the other, Juanita or Mario? Why?arrow_forwardSolve 45 a, b, c, d, earrow_forwardPls helparrow_forward
