In a class of 40 students, everyone has either a pierced nose or a pierced ear. the professor asks everyone with a pierced nose to raise his or her hand. seven hands go up. then the professor asked everyone with a pierced ear to do likewise. this time there are 36 hands raised. how many students have piercings both on their ears and their noses?

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
