An electrician charges a set fee of $100 for every house call and then charges an additional hourly rate. One day, the electrici
2 answers:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
C(t) ---->the total cost of the electrician's services in dollars
t ---> the number of hours
we know that
The linear function in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
the y-intercept is equal to
----> set fee
we have the ordered pair (2,250)
substitute the given values
Solve for m
The linear function is equal to

<h3>Answer:</h3>
- ABDC = 6 in²
- AABD = 8 in²
- AABC = 14 in²
A diagram can be helpful.
When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.
The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...
... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5
so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.
... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)
... ABDC = 6 in²
_____
The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...
... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3
so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.
... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)
... AABD = 8 in²
_____
Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:
... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²
... AABC = 14 in²
