Graph and Interpret Applications of Slope–Intercept

Katherine is a private chef. The equation $C=6.5m+42$ models the relation between her weekly cost, C , in dollars and the number of meals, m , that she serves.

1. Find Katherine’s cost for a week when she serves no meals.
2. Find the cost for a week when she serves 14 meals.
3. Interpret the slope and C -intercept of the equation.
4. Graph the equation.

Marjorie teaches piano. The equation $P=35h-250$ models the relation between her weekly profit, P , in dollars and the number of student lessons, s , that she teaches.

1. Find Marjorie’s profit for a week when she teaches no student lessons.
2. Find the profit for a week when she teaches 20 student lessons.
3. Interpret the slope and P –intercept of the equation.
4. Graph the equation.

−$250$450  The slope, 35, means that Marjorie’s weekly profit, P , increases by $35 for each additional student lesson she teaches. The P –intercept means that when the number of lessons is 0, Marjorie loses$250.

A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogs he cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation A=x(100−2x) gives the area, A , of the dog run for the length, x , of the building that will border the dog run. Find the length of the building that should border the dog run to give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the dog run.

Washing his dad’s car alone, eight year old Levi takes 2.5 hours. If his dad helps him, then it takes 1 hour. How long does it take the Levi’s dad to wash the car by himself?
1,75hrs
Mike
I'm going to guess. Divide Levi's time by 2. Then divide 1 hour by 2. 1.25 + 0.5 = 1.3?
John
Oops I mean 1.75
John
I'm guessing this because since I have divide 1 hour by 2, I have to do the same for the 2.5 hours it takes Levi by himself.

Carmen wants to tile the floor of his house. He will need 1,000 square feet of tile. He will do most of the floor with a tile that costs $1.50 per square foot, but also wants to use an accent tile that costs$9.00 per square foot. How many square feet of each tile should he plan to use if he wants the overall cost to be $3 per square foot? Parker Reply what you wanna get Cesar 800 sq. ft @$1.50 & 200 sq. ft @ $9.00 Marco Geneva treated her parents to dinner at their favorite restaurant. The bill was$74.25. Geneva wants to leave 16 % of the total - bill as a tip. How much should the tip be?
74.25 × .16 then get the total and that will be your tip
David
$74.25 x 0.16 =$11.88 total bill: $74.25 +$11.88 = $86.13 ericka yes and tip 16% will be$11.88

what is the shorter way to do it
