A)y = 1.5x - 7
B)y = -1.5x + 5
C)y = 1.5x + 5
D)y = -1.5x - 7

Accepted Answer

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Given m = -1.5 and point (-4, -1), substitute into y = mx + b to find b: -1 = -1.5(-4) + b, solving gives b = -7. Thus, the equation is y = -1.5x - 7.

Question 6

Find an equation in slope-intercept form (where possible) for the line.
-The line with y-intercept -10 and perpendicular to x + 2y = 4 
A) $ y=-2 x-10 $
B) $ y=-\frac{1}{2} x+1 $
C) $ y=\frac{1}{2} x-10 $
D) $ y=2 x-10 $

Accepted Answer

The given line x + 2y = 4 has a slope of -1/2. A line perpendicular to it will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is 2. The line with this slope and y-intercept -10 is y = 2x - 10.

A) $ -\frac{1}{12} $
B) $ \frac{15}{4} $
C) $ -\frac{15}{4} $
D) $ -\frac{4}{15} $

Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Substituting the given points (-8, 8) and (-4, -7) into this formula gives $m = \frac{-7 - 8}{-4 + 8} = \frac{-15}{4}$, which is option C.

Question 8

Solve the problem.
-A meteorologist in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan predicts an overnight low of -9° Fahrenheit. What would a Canadian meteorologist predict for the same location in Celsius?
A)-9°
B)-5°
C)-41°
D)-22.8°

Accepted Answer

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula: $C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. Plugging in -9°F gives: $C = \frac{5}{9}(-9 - 32) = \frac{5}{9}(-41) = -22.8°C$.

Question 10

Write a cost function for the problem. Assume that the relationship is linear.
-A cable TV company charges $21 for the basic service plus $7 for each movie channel. Let C(x)be the total cost in dollars of subscribing to cable TV, using x movie channels.
A)C(x)= 7x + 21
B)C(x)= 21x + 7
C)C(x)= 21x - 7
D)C(x)= 7x - 21

Accepted Answer

The cost function C(x) = 7x + 21 correctly represents the total cost as a function of x movie channels, where $21 is the fixed cost for basic service and $7 is the variable cost per movie channel.

Question 11

Solve the problem.
-The mathematical model C = 400x + 30,000 represents the cost in dollars a company has in manufacturing x items during a month. Based on this, how much does it cost to produce 400 items?
A)$75.00
B)$0.19
C)$160,000
D)$190,000

Accepted Answer

To find the cost of producing 400 items, substitute x = 400 into the equation: C = 400(400) + 30,000 = 160,000 + 30,000 = 190,000.

Question 13

Find an equation in slope-intercept form (where possible) for the line.
-Through $ (7,-9) $, with undefined slope
A) $ \frac{9}{7} x+7 y=0 $
B) $ x=7 $
C) $ \frac{7}{9} x-9 y=0 $
D) $ y=-9 $

Accepted Answer

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line, which means all points on the line have the same x-coordinate. The equation for a vertical line through (7, -9) is $x = 7$.

Question 14

Find an equation in slope-intercept form (where possible) for the line.
-Through $ (-9,-3) $, perpendicular to $ 7 x+8 y=-87 $
A) $ y=\frac{8}{7} x+\frac{51}{7} $
B) $ y=\frac{8}{7} x $
C) $ y=\frac{7}{8} x-51 $
D) $ y=-\frac{8}{7} x-\frac{51}{7} $

Accepted Answer

The slope of the line perpendicular to $7x + 8y = -87$ is $-\frac{7}{8}$ (negative reciprocal of the original slope $ \frac{7}{8} $). Using the point $(-9, -3)$ to solve for $b$ in $y = mx + b$, we get $b = \frac{51}{7}$. Therefore, the correct equation is $y = -\frac{8}{7}x + \frac{51}{7}$.

Question 15

Solve the problem.
-On a summer day, the bottom water of a lake is at a temperature of 6° Celsius. What is this temperature in Fahrenheit?
A)42.8°
B)6°
C)38°
D)10.8°

Accepted Answer

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Plugging in 6 for C gives F = (6 × 9/5) + 32 = 42.8°.

Question 16

.
-Find the slope of the linex = 10
A)0
B)10
C)1
D)Not defined

Accepted Answer

The slope of a vertical line like x = 10 is undefined because it does not have a rate of change in y over a change in x.

Question 18

Solve the problem.
-The relationship between the list price, x, in thousands of dollars, and the dealer invoice price, y, also in thousands of dollars, for pickup trucks can be approximated by the linear equation Y = 0.715x + 2.82. Use this equation to predict the dealer invoice price for a pickup truck with a list
Price of 18.0 thousand dollars.
A)21.231 thousand dollars
B)15.690 thousand dollars
C)12.870 thousand dollars
D)19.305 thousand dollars

Accepted Answer

To predict the dealer invoice price for a pickup truck with a list price of 18.0 thousand dollars, substitute x = 18.0 into the equation Y = 0.715x + 2.82. This gives Y = 0.715(18) + 2.82 = 12.87 + 2.82 = 15.69 thousand dollars.
