The equation y = 36 + 18x models the relationship between the height y, in inches, of a typical golden delicious apple tree and the number of years, x, after it was planted. If the equation is graphed in the
xy-plane, what is indicated by the y-intercept of the graph?
A) The age, in years, of a typical apple tree when it is planted
The height, in inches, of a typical apple tree when it is planted
A) The number of years it takes a typical apple tree to grow
A) The number of inches a typical apple tree grows each year
Giovanni wants to buy shirts that cost $19.40 each and sweaters that cost $24.80 each. An 8% sales tax will be applied to the entire purchase. If Giovanni buys 2 shirts, which equation relates the number of sweaters purchased, p, and the total cost in
dollars, y ?
1.08(38.80 + 24.80p) = y
38.80 + 24.80p = 0.92y
38.80 + 24.80p = 1.08y
0.92(38.80 + 24.80p) = y
