Question 9

3 marks

A community garden rents out rectangular plots of land. The relationship between the total monthly cost \(y\), in dollars, for a plot and the area of the plot \(x\), in square meters, is modeled by the linear equation \(y = 3x + 25\).

Part a: What is the total monthly cost, in dollars, for a plot with an area of \(40\) square meters?

Part b: According to the model, what is the fixed base fee, in dollars, charged for any plot?

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 10

5 marks

In the \( xy \)-plane, line \( k \) passes through the origin and has a slope of \( \frac{2}{3} \). Line \( p \) passes through the point \( (0, 10) \) and is perpendicular to the line with the equation \( y = 2x - 5 \).
