Question

I would like help in this project from question 2-5 and the other side from questions 1-5 also

Answer 1

1.

From the graph given us, the point of intersection of the 2 linear functions is where the salaries are equal.

We will find that to be Year 5

Therefore. at Year 5, both basketball & baseball players earn an equal salary of about $350,000

2.

The y-intercept refers to the point that the straight line touches the y-axis & is given by:

`\begin{gathered} ForBasketballPlayers\colon \\ y-intercept=90 \\ \\ ForBaseballPlayers\colon \\ y-intercept=150 \end{gathered}`

We will proceed to obtain the equation for the functions as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b------------1 \\ m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_!)-----------2 \\ where\colon m=slope,b=y-intercept \\ \\ \text{For Basketball Players: we have these points lying on the straight line:} \\ (x,y)=\mleft(0,90\mright),(5,350) \\ m=(350-90)/(5-0)=(260)/(5)=52 \\ m=52 \\ \text{Substitute the value of ''m'' into equation 1, we have:} \\ y=52x+90 \\ \\ \text{For Baseball Players: we have these points lying on the straight line:} \\ (x,y)=(0,150),(5,350) \\ m=(350-150)/(5-0)=(200)/(5)=40 \\ m=40 \\ \text{Substitute the value of ''m'' into equation 1, we have:} \\ y=40x+150 \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

For basketball players, the equation is: y = 52x + 90

For baseball players, the equation is: y = 40x + 150

A = (46, 2000)

B = (37, 2000)

4.

The average Basketball player salary is $8.2 million as compared to that of $2 million from here

The average Baseball player salary is $4.17 million as compared to that of $2 million from here

Hence, the average Basketball player salary is 4 times larger than that we have here & the average Baseball player salary is 2 times larger than that we have here

5.

The average salary of Football players is $860,000 which is about 10 times smaller than that of the average Basketball player & about 5 times smaller than that of an average Baseball player
