The cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230. The cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320. Write an equation for the cost of an order of steel bars (y) in terms of the weight of steel bars ordered (x). Show or explain how you found your equation.

Answer:

y = 9x/5 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are represent the information as coordinate (x,y)

If the cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230, this is expressed as (100, 230)

Also if the cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320, this is expressed as;

(150, 320)

Find the equation of a line passing through the points. The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the slope;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 320-230/150-100

m = 90/50

m = 9/5

Get the y-intercept by substituting m = 9/5 and any point say (100, 230) into the expression y = mx+c

230 = 9/5(100)+c

230 = 9(20)+c

230 = 180 + c

c = 230-180

c = 50

Get the required equation

y = mx+c

y = 9/5 x + 50

Hence an equation for the cost of an order of steel bars (y) in terms of the weight of steel bars ordered (x) is y = 9x/5 + 50

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Polina the Polar Bear sat on an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, north of Alaska. Polina was waiting for her mother, Bearnice, to return hwith some tasty seal blubber for lunch. Bearnice was hunting, waiting for seals to come up for air through holes in the ice, the same way Polar Bears have hunted in the winter for centuries. Except this year there was one big difference.

A lot more of the ice had melted last summer, and this winter it hadn’t refrozen as usual. A combination of warmer weather and changes in water and air currents was making the ocean warmer than anyone could remember, and Bearnice had to swim farther every day to find a good hunting spot.

As Polina waited for her mother to bring food back to her floe, the ice shrank bit by bit until she was sitting on very thin ice. As Polina waited helplessly, the furry white cub heard a deep voice coming from the direction of the sea.

“Hellooo little bear,” it said. Polina had never heard such a deep voice. She lifted her tired head to look out over the water, and was surprised that the voice seemed to come from a dark ice floe just offshore.

"No, wait!" It had a huge eyeball that was looking directly at her. It wasn’t an ice floe — it was the largest whale Polina had ever seen. It was also the first whale that had ever spoken to her.

“They call me Farswimmer,”said the whale, “because I travel all over the world, having adventures and learning new things. What brings you here alone, Polar Bear?” Farswimmer was very old, and he had seen many changes in his years of exploring the oceans. He certainly knew more about the world than most polar bears.

Farswimmer seemed like a nice whale, but Polina remembered Bearnice, her mother, and how she hadn’t come back from hunting.

Farswimmer blew a tall spout to distract Polina and stop her from crying.

When Polina told the whale her own story, he said, “I’m headed north anyway. You could ride on my back, and we can look for your mother. Are you ready for an adventure?” The next morning, Farswimmer and Polina charted their course and took off. Polina rode Farswimmer’s back and sometimes floated behind him, holding his tail. She also stood on his back and pretended she was surfing. It was a blast.

They took a break on an ice floe. Soon, they saw something in the distance that looked like another ice floe, but just to be sure, Farswimmer left Polina on the ice and swam to the floating object.

It wasn’t an object. It was an animal. Farswimmer used his fat nose to push the animal to Polina’s icy raft. When they got closer, Polina saw a familiar face.

“Mommy,” she yelped. Bearnice was very tired, but the sound of her cub’s voice made her happy. She opened her arms and the two embraced each other in a big bear hug.

Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:
1)
What is the main conflict in this story?
A) Farswimmer cannot find Polina's mother.
B) Polina's mother is unable to find any seals to feed Polina.
