1. The two equations follow the slope-intercept form which y=mx + b. They have the same y-intercept which is equal to 900.
2. Suppose x= 10
Plan Alpha: y=-7x+900=-7(10)+900=830
Plan Foxtrot: y = -17x+900 = -17(10)+900=730
Between the 2 plans, the lower value is 730. Plan Foxtrot is better for reduction of pollution.
3. The city council should choose Plan Foxtrot because the reduction of pollution is much greater. Their goal would be reached faster if they go with faster reduction of pollution.
Answer:
It's an enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
e.g. when your pupils become dilated they enlarge
There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". If that's actually what the question says, then it's a defective question, and you should put it away before it makes you any more confused.
A 120 watt light bulb uses exactly 0.12 kilowatt when it's turned on.
In one hour, it uses
(0.12 kilowatt) x (1 hour) = 0.12 kilowatt-hour of energy.
If energy costs $0.20 per kilowatt-hour, then the cost is
(0.12) x (0.20) = 2.4 cents. (0.024 dollar)
