Question

Julie needs to cut 4 pieces of yarn, each with the same length, and a piece of yarn 7.75 inches long. Let x represent the length of each of the equal pieces of yarn that Julie decides to cut. What is the equation that can be used to determine the total length of all of the yarn that she ends up cutting, y? Is the graph of the equation continuous or discrete?Which description is represented by a discrete graph?

Answer 1

Equation: y = 4x + 7.75

The graph is continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie needs to cut 4 pieces of yarn,

Let x represent the length of each yarn.

4x + 7.75

y represents the total length of all of the yarn that Julie decides to cut.

y = 4x + 7.75

Therefore the required equation that can be used to determine the total length of all of the yarn is:

y = 4x + 7.75

The graph is continuous because the amount of yarn that Julie decides to cut not need to be an integer amount.
