1. (0, 20) is the

$y\text{-intercept}$ and represents that there were 20 teachers at Jones High School in 1990. There is no

$x\text{-intercept}$ .

2. In the first 5 years the slope is 2; this means that on average, the school gained 2 teachers every year between 1990 and 1995. Between 1995 and 2000, the slope is 4; on average the school gained 4 teachers every year. Then the slope is 0 between 2000 and 2005 meaning the number of teachers remained the same. There was a decrease in teachers between 2005 and 2010, represented by a slope of –2. Finally, the slope is 4 between 2010 and 2020, which indicates that on average the school gained 4 teachers every year.

3. Answers will vary. Jones High School was founded in 1990 and hired 2 teachers per year until 1995, when they had an increase in students and they hired 4 teachers per year for the next 5 years. Then there was a hiring freeze, and no teachers were hired between 2000 and 2005. After the hiring freeze, the student population decreased, and they lost 2 teachers per year until 2010. Another surge in student population meant Jones High School hired 4 new teachers per year until 2020 when they had 80 teachers at the school.

1. With

$a =$ the number of bags of apples sold, and

$b =$ the number of bunches of bananas sold, the objective function is

$P = 4a + 6b$ .

5.97

$T = 20x + 28y$

5.98

1. The constraints are

$a + b \leq 20$ and

$3a + 5b \leq 70$ . The summary is:

$P = 4a + 6b$ ,

$a + b \leq 20$ , and

$3a + 5b \leq 70$ .

5.99

1. The constraints are:

$15 \leq x \leq 22$

$13 \leq y \leq 19$
So the system is:

$T = 20x + 28y$

$15 \leq x \leq 22$

$13 \leq y \leq 19$

$\begin{array}{rcl}{x}&{ = }&{- \,2}\\{7 + 4\left( {2 + 5\left( { - \,2} \right)} \right)}&{ \mathop = \limits^? }&{3\left( {6\left( { -\,2} \right) + 7} \right)-\left( {13\left( { -\,2} \right) + 36} \right)}\\{7 + 4\left( {2-10} \right)}&{ \mathop = \limits^? }&{3\left( { - 12 + 7} \right)-\left( { -\,26 + 36} \right) }\\{7 + 4\left( { -\,8} \right)}&{ \mathop = \limits^? }&{3\left( { - 5} \right)-\left( {10} \right) }\\{7-32}&{ \mathop = \limits^? }&{ -\,15-10}\\{-\,25}&{ = }&{-\,25✓}\end{array}$

11. This is not a correct solution strategy. The negative sign is not distributed correctly in the second line of the solution strategy. The second line should read

$8x + 7-2x + 9 = 22-4x + 4$ .

17. Luis is; there are infinitely many solutions. If this is solved using the general strategy, it simplifies to

$0 = 0$ . This is a true statement, so there are infinitely many solutions.
