In a model that relates the balance of his lunch account as a function of the number of lunches he buys, what does the rate of change represent?


A: the number of lunches he purchases


B: the starting balance of his lunch account


C: the amount of money in his lunch account


D: the amount of money he pays for each lunch

Sagot :

Answer:

D the amount of money he pays for each lunch

Step-by-step explanation:

In each lunch Devante has, he pays 2,50 $ according to:

Money in t = t₀     he has  35,50 $      paid 3 lunches and spent

35,50 - 28  =  7,5

Then the cost of each lunch is    7,5 / 3   =  2,5 $

After that

bought    5 lunches and spent   28  - 15,5  = 12,50

Again    12,5 / 5   =  2,5 $

Now the model for the situation is a straight line with a slope 2,5

In an  x , y cartesian system in which  y is money in the account  and x is the number of lunches, such a straight line will be

y  =  b  -  m*x      ( b the intercept on y  and  m the negative slope)

y  =  35,50 - 2,5*x

So  answering the question is lyrics  D  the amount of money he pays for each lunch
