At a magazine company, employees are given a score based on subscription renewals. An employee receives 3 points for each customer that renews a subscription and receives -2 points for each customer not renewing a subscription. In the course of an hour, an employee has 4 customers that renew subscriptions and 7 customers that do not renew subscriptions.

this employee's score = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

this employee will get a bad score for the last hour of work:

employees score = number of subscriptions renewed x 3) - (number of subscriptions cancelled or not renewed x -2) = (4 · 3) + (7 · -2) = 12 - 14 = -2

since the number of subscriptions cancelled or not renewed was much higher than the subscriptions renewed, his/her score is negative.

If this is how some employees are really scored, it explains why some people are so annoying when they are trying to renew a subscription to any type of service.

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
