The numbers go up in a linear fashion (by 1)
So, positive linear association
Answer:
Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50
Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0
We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.
According to the question:
Let the number of minutes be "x" .
And the total cost charged be "y" .
So,
The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee
Re-arranging in term of x and y.
⇒ 
⇒
...equation (i)
Slope- intercept form:
m is the slope and b is the y-is intercept.
⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.
⇒
and 
So,
The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.
Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
