Question

Find the cost of purchasing 30 roses. Show how you know.

Answer 1

90 dollars

Explanation:

so first you need to solve for the rate of change or slope with the equation

y 2 - y1 / x2 - x1

here i think the independent variable is number of roses since the dollars rely on the number of roses (sorry for my explanation its kinda bad)

so since number of roses is independent we know that it is x and that the price in dollars is y

anyways we have to substitute two values into the equation

y 2 - y1 / x2 - x1

(3, 9) (6, 18)

18 - 9 / 6 - 3

9 / 3

3

knowing that the rate of change is 3, to find the price for 30 roses all we have to do is:

let p be price

p = 3x

p = 3(30)

p = 90 dollars
