Given the equation y = 2x − 6, use Desmos App

to find the following:

a) x-intercept d) run
b) y-intercept e) slope
c) rise
Review
Translate the following statements into mathematical
equations.

a) Four added to a number gives ten. (4 + n = 10)

b) Twice a number is 6. (2n = 6)
d) Twenty-five decreased by twice a number is 13.
(25 − 2n = 13)

 Problem 1
A shipping fee of parcels via LBC includes a
Php 200 insurance fee and Php 50 for per
kilogram. Make a graphical representation of
the change in cost as the weight of parcel
increases.
 Step 1:
A shipping fee of parcels via LBC includes a

parcel increases.
 Step 2:
Task: Make a graphical representation of
the cost as the weight of parcel increases.

y = mx + b
 Step 3:
Let: y = cost
x = weight
m = rate = charge/kilo=50/kg
constant b = 200

Cost = (50/kg)(Weight in Kg) + 200

 Step 3:
Cost = (50/kg)(Weight inKg) + 200

Equation:
y = mx + b
y = 50x + 200
 Step 3:
y = 50x + 200
x
Weight (kg)
0 1 2 3 4 5

y 200 250 300 350 400 450

cost(Php)
 Step 3:
Now were ready to draw the graph.
 Step 3:
y = 50x + 200
x
Weight (kg)
0 1 2 3 4 5

y 200 250 300 350 400 450

cost(Php)
 Step 4:
What can we conclude about the
correlation of the cost of parcels
and the weight?
