37. Let x = monthly installment ($).


Since Sally paid $300 down, she owes $1300 − $300 = $1000.
Therefore, 5x = 1000 or x = $200 is the monthly installment.
39. The consumption function is C(x) = mx + b. The slope is the
“marginal propensity to consume.” Therefore, C(x) = 0.75x + b.
The disposable income, x = 2, when consumption is y = 11 yields
11 = (0.75)(2) + b and b = 9.5. The consumption function is
C(x) = 0.75x + 9.5.

7. .a) y = (5∕3)x + 2 and 5x − 3y = 10; the slope of the first line is 5/3.
Solving for y in the second equation yields y = (5∕3)x − (10∕3).
This slope is also 5/3. The slopes are both (5/3) so the lines are
parallel (with different intercepts).
b) 6x + 2y = 4 and y = (1∕3)x + 1. The slope of the second line is
easily determined (line in slope intercept form) as 1/3. Again, solve
for y in the first equation to determine y = −3x + 2. The slope is −3.
The slopes are negative reciprocals; the lines are perpendicular.
c) 2x − 3y = 6 and 4x − 6y = 15. Solving for y in each equation,
one determines that y = (2∕3)x − 2 and y = (2∕3)x − (5∕2).
These lines have the same slope (and different intercepts) making
them parallel.
d) y = 5x − 4 and 3x − y = 4. The slope of the first line is 5 and
solving for y in the second equation, (y = 3x − 4), the slope is 3.
These slopes are neither the same nor negative reciprocals. They
are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
e) y = 5 is a horizontal line while x = 3 is a vertical line. The two lines
are perpendicular.
9. A linear equation has a single x-intercept except for y = 0 (the x-axis)
with an infinite number of x-intercepts. Any horizontal line except
y = 0 has no x-intercepts. Generally, lines do not have more than one
y-intercept. The exception is x = 0 (the y-axis) with an infinite num-
ber of y-intercepts. Any vertical line with the exception of x = 0 has
no y-intercepts.

11. The ordered pairs of “time” and “machine value” are (0, 75,000) and
(9, 21,000), respectively. The slope is
21,000 − 75,000 −54, 000
m= = = −6000. The y-intercept is the
9−0 9
purchase price, $75,000. The equation to model the straight-line
depreciation is V(t) = −6000t + 75,000, where V(t) is the machine
value ($) at time t.
13. The ordered pairs (gallons, miles) are (7, 245) and (12, 420).
420 − 245 175
The slope is = = 35 with x gallons and y miles.
12 − 7 5
Use either pair with the point slope-formula.
Therefore, y − 245 = 35(x − 7) or y = 35x.
15. Total cost reflects both fixed and variable costs. The fixed
cost is monthly rent ($1100). The variable cost is 5x, where
x is monthly production. Therefore, total cost is C(x) = 1100 + 5x.
17. .a) Here, the fixed cost is $50/day and variable cost $0.30/mile.
To rent the car for a single day costs $50 to which the
mileage cost must be added. The cost is C(x) = 50 + 0.30x.
b) If a person has $110 for rental, the equation to solve for the travel
distance is 110 = 50 + 0.30x.
Solving yields,

60 = 0.30x
60
=x
0.30
200 = x

The person can rent the car and travel 200 miles with $110.

19. Since R is to be a function of C, the ordered pairs are (C, R).


The two ordered pairs are (70, 84) and (40, 48). The slope is
48 − 84 36 6
= = . Using either pair with the slope to yield
40 − 70 30 5
R − 84 = (6∕5)(C − 70) or R = (6∕5)C.
