Using a linear function, it is found that Company D would have given you the best deal for 7 hours of moving.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, we consider:

The flat fee as the y-intercept.

The hourly rate as the slope.

Hence the costs for x hours of moving from each company are given as follows:

A(x) = 50 + 25x.

B(x) = 40 + 30x.

C(x) = 60 + 20x.

D(x) = 150 + 5x.

For 7 hours, the costs are given as follows:

A(7) = 50 + 25 x 7 = $225.

B(7) = 40 + 30 x 7 = $250.

C(7) = 60 + 20 x 7 = $200.

D(7) = 150 + 5 x 7 = $185.

Due to the lower cost, Company D would have given you the best deal for 7 hours of moving.

From the set {80, 19, 11}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the equation true. 8x = 88 A. none of these B. 1

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting, we have ...

8{80, 19, 11} ?= 88

{640, 152, 88} ?= 88

The value from the set that makes the equation true is x = 11.

_____

<em>Alternate methods of solution (other than substitution)</em>

It can be easier to make use of your knowledge of factoring:

8x = 8·11

x = 11

Or to make use of your knowledge of numbers (place value):

8·10 = 80

so x will not be very different from 10.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Part A: What is the rate of change and initial value of the function represented by the graph, and what do they represent in this scenario?

First, calculate the rate of change (Slope, once it is a linear function):

I will take the points: $(0, 100)$ and $(1, 80)$

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{100-80}{0-1}=-20$

Let's understand the graph!

This linear graph is about songs being downloaded in a period of 5 weeks.

In the beginning, we have 100 songs to be downloaded. As the weeks past, the number of songs remaining decreases, that's why the graph's slope is negative. In week 5, all songs were downloaded.

The initial value (100) represents the number of songs.

Part B: Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the relationship between x and y.

The Slope-intercept form of linear equations is $y=mx+b$

where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, we have

$y=-20x+100$
