Answer:
37500 = 1500 X + 1200 Y
Step-by-step explanation:
Total $37500 is spend on both computer and printers and 1500 at each computer and 1200 at each printer.
Where X=number of Computer and Y = number of printers so we have
equation is equal to 37500 = 1500X + 1200Y
Function: 1500X = 1200 Y - 37500
X = 1200 Y - 37500
1500 1500
X = 3/4 Y - 25.
Slope (m)=?
we have Y = mx +b
by comparison with equation
X = 3/4 y + (-b)
then m=3/4=.75
if each printer is purchased we predict that office manger cost 24.5 each increase in computer
Answer:
the slope is -(4/5) for an increasing number of printers bought the number of the computers bought will decrease.
Step-by-step explanation:
firstly we are told that we must write the number of computers purchased as a function of the number of printers purchased therefore this tells us that we must let X be the number of printers and let Y be the number of Computers purchased.
on the statement we are told the costs per computer of $1500 and we are also told the cost per printer which is $1200 each then they further tell us that we have a total of $37500 to spend so if we put this in one equation it will be :
$1500Y + $1200X = $37500 because we let the number of each computers bought be Y and each of the number of printers bought be X.
now we will solve for to make Y the subject of the formula as we are told above that the number of computers(Y) purchased is a function of the number of printers(X) bought.
$1500Y = $37500 - $1200X ,we transpose the dependent variable then we divide the whole equation by $1500 to make Y the subject of the formula.
Y= 25 - (4/5)X then we rearrange to the format Y= mX + c
Y= -(4/5)X +25
then we get a negative slope which tells us that for an increasing number of printers bought the number of the computers bought will decrease.
