I think you have to figure out the gradient, so you take the 2 points and put it into the equation
change in y divided by change in x aka
y2-y1/x2-x1

so for question 3:
y2=4 and y1=3
(taken from the first and second coordinates)
x2=3 and y1=7
put these values jnto the equation
4-3/3-7 = 1/-4 (can be written as negative 1/4)

for question 4 its the same thing:
y2=9 and y1=5
x2=4 and x1=2
put into equation
9-5/4-2 = 4/2

hope this helps, im also hoping your teacher already has taught this because i didnt go into detail of where the equation came from, if not ask me and ill gladly help X

The general formula for the slope between two points is slope = . To find the vertical and horizontal distances between the two points, sometimes this can be seen by looking at the graph, but the vertical and horizontal distances between two points can always be found by subtracting the coordinates of the two points.
I've attatched a visual example for you;

if you follow this formula you will end up with the following results :

3) 1/-4 = -0.25 = Negative Slope
4) 4/2 = 2 = Positive Slope

Hope I helped

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

$x\ge 2y$

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes $=\dfrac{3}{10}$ hour, then he can make y arrangements in $\dfrac{3}{10}y$ hours.

A florist can make a simple arrangement in 10 minutes $=\dfrac{1}{6}$ hour, so he can make x arrangements in $\dfrac{1}{6}x$ hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

$\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40$

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines $x=2y$ and $\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40$
