Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 35 = 40
Subract 35 from both sides -5x + 35 - 35 = 40 - 35 = (-5x = 5)
Divide -5 from both sides -5x / -5 = 5 / -5 =
x = -1
Answer: the equation is y = - 3x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
c represents the y intercept
m represents the slope of the straight line.
The slope of the given line is - 3 and it contains the point (4, 2)
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 3, x = 4 and
y = 2 into y = mx + c. It becomes
2 = - 3 × 4 + c
2 = - 12 + c
c = 12 + 2
c = 14
The equation becomes
y = - 3x + 14
Now, if x = 300 miles, then
y= 1/20*300 + 35
y = 15 + 35
y = 50, therefore it would cost $50.00 to drive the rental car 300 miles.
