Zachary purchased a computer for $1,500 on a payment plan. Four months after he purchased the computer, his balance was $960. Six months after he purchased the computer, his balance was $690. What is an equation that models the balance y after x months?
The equation hh models the balance y after x months
(Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.)

y=-135x+1500

Step-by-step explanation:

first you see that the starting point of the equation in $1500( y-axis) which would be the b part of the equation

Next you would take (4,960) which is at 4 months he had $960 left and (6,690) where at 6 months he had $690 left.

You would do change of y over change of x to get -135 as your slope

then you would plug in the finial equation y= -135x(slope)+ 1500( your starting point)

a) $ 9.50

b) 17

c) y-intercept (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d) x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e) slope is -0.5. joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays.

f)

domain; [0,24]

range; [0,12]

g) x + 2y = 24

step-by-step explanation:

a)

if joe plays 5 games, this will imply that x = 5. substitute x = 5 in the equation and solve for y;

y = -.50x + 12

y = -0.50(5) + 12

y = 9.50

b)

if joe leaves the arcade with $3.50, this will mean that y = 3.50. plug in y = 3.50 in the given equation and solve for x;

y = -.50x + 12

3.50 = -0.50x + 12

0.50x = 12 - 3.50

0.5x = 8.5

x = 17

c)

the function given is   y = -.50x + 12.

the y-intercept is the point where the graph of this function will intersect the y-axis. at this point, the value of x is usually 0. plug in x = 0 in the given equation and determine y;

y = -0.50(0) + 12

y = 12

the y-intercept is thus (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d)

the x-intercept refers to the point where the graph of a function intersects with the x-axis. at this point, the value of y is 0. substitute y = 0 in the given equation and solve for x;

0 =   -.50x + 12

0.5x = 12

x = 24

x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e)

the slope of the given equation is -0.5. the equation has been given in slope-intercept form. thus the slope is simply the coefficient of x.

joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays. this is the interpretation of the slope.

f)

domain is the set of x values for which the function is real and defined. the domain will thus be; [0,24]. this will restrict the balance to only assume positive values.

on the other hand, the range is the set of y values for which a function is real and defined. the range in our case will be [0,12]. joe can have between $0 and $12 balance.

g)

the standard form of the equation of a straight line is;

ax + by = c

where a, b, and c are integers.

our equation is given as;

y = -.50x + 12

re-writing the equation we have;

0.5x + y = 12

divide all through by 0.5;

x + 2y = 24

it's 100

step-by-step explanation:

22, 28, 34, 40, 46

b)   f(n) = 6n + 16

  n = what is the number of the row ( 22 would be row 1) so if we replaced n with 1, we would get 22

c)   the  14th  row will have 100 seats

(1)   (2)   (3)   (4)   (5)   (6)   (7)   (8)   (9)   (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)

22 | 28 | 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 | 88 | 94 | 100
