Answer 1

The cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49

Given in the question:

The monthly cost (in dollars) of the water use (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water used (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF)

The cost for using 17 HCF of water is using $32.13

and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.

To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.

Now, According to the question:

The cost for using 17 HCF of water is  $32.13

and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.

To find the slope:

(17, 32.13) and (35, 61.83)

Slope = (61.83 - 32.13)/ (35 - 17) = 1.65

We know that:

Formula of slope :

y = mx + b

32.13 = 1.65 x 17 + b

b = 1.14

The equation will be :

C(x) = 1.65x + 1.14

Now, To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.

C(19) = 1.65 × 19  + 1.14

C(19) = $32.49

Hence,  the cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49.
