Mauryn wrote the following word problem to represent a linear function. Sandwiches at King Sandwich cost the same amount and include bread, meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. All other vegetables are extra. Sam bought a chicken sandwich with 3 extra vegetables for $5.25. Erin bought a roast beef sandwich with 5 extra vegetables for $6.25. Which represents the y-intercept for Mauryn’s word problem? A (0, 0.50) B (0, 1.00) C (0, 1.50) D (0, 3.75)

correct option is D (0, 3.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

3 extra vegetables = $5.25

5 extra vegetables = $6.25

solution

we consider here price of sandwich is = y

and number of extra vegetable is = x

when we see on graph for 3 extra vegetable for $5.25 it is as passes through the point (3, 5.25)

and for 5 extra vegetable for $6.25 than it is as passes through the point (5,6.25)

so these equation will be when line passes through two points is

y - y1 =      .............1

wee take here point (3,5.25) and (5,6.25)

so that here equation of line will be as

y - 5.25 =      

simply it we get

y = 0.5 x + 3.75

now we put here x = 0 to get y intersection

y = 0.5(0) + 3.75

y = 3.75

so

y intercept for is (0,3.75).

so correct option is D (0, 3.75)

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

b, i believe, but not sure.
