a < b

the < means that the first letter is less than the second letter. So this equation is saying a is less than b.

If a is less than b, that also means that b is greater than a.

The correct answer would be B.

Hodel just got her driver's license. Her parents offer her two options. 1. They'll buy her a used car that will cost her $0.50 p

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The second option will cost her less than the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will create two functions to represent the cost of the car in function of the miles drove by her.

For the first option we have:

$cost_1(x) = 0.5*x$

For the second option we have:

$cost_2(x) = 5000 + 0.1*x$

Since she intends to drive it for 10,000 miles per year for 6 years, then the total mileage she intends to drive her car is 60,000 miles. Applying this to the formula of each car and we have:

$cost_1(60000) = 0.5*60000 = 30000$

$cost_2(60000) = 5000 + 60000*0.1 = 11000$

The second option will cost her less than the first one.

Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the given points.

Ugo [173]

$The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\\\The\ slope-point\ form:y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$(1;\ 1)\to x_1=1;\ y_1=1\\\left(3;-\dfrac{1}{5}\right)\to x_2=3;\ y_2=-\dfrac{1}{5}.\\\\Subtitute:\\\\m=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{5}-1}{3-1}=\dfrac{-1\frac{1}{5}}{2}=-\dfrac{\frac{6}{5}}{2}=-\dfrac{\not6^3}{5}\cdot\dfrac{1}{\not2_1}=-\dfrac{3}{5}$

$y-1=-\dfrac{3}{5}\left(x-1\right)\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+\dfrac{3}{5}\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{y=-\frac{3}{5}x+1\frac{3}{5}}$
