while observing the fare meter in a taxi, a student records the following data: reading on taxi fare meter time (minutes) meter

reading 0 $5.25 10 $13.75 20 $22.25 30 $30.75 what is the equation that relates the cost, c(t), of the taxi ride and time, t, in minutes? what is the cost of a 12-minute taxi ride?

(0,5.25)(10,13.75)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (13.75 - 5.25) / (10 - 0) = 8.5/10 = 0.85

y = mx + b
(0,5.25)...x = 0 and y = 5.25
slope(m) = 0.85
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
5.25 = 0.85(0) + b
5.25 = b

so ur equation is : y = 0.85x + 5.25 or C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25 <==

cost of a 12 min taxi ride.....sub in 12 for t
C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25
C(12) = 0.85(12) +5.25
C(12) = 10.20 + 5.25 = 15.45 
so a 12 min ride would cost u : $ 15.45 <==

The function f(x) is shown in this graph please help because I can’t understand this concept
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

d) the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope of an equation, you look at its rise/run. for f(x), you can see that from one point (0, 3) to another (1, 1) it goes down 2 values (3 - 1) and over 1 value (0 + 1). because it goes down 2 values, the rise is -2, and because it moves to the side 1 value positively, the run is +1.

-2/+1 = -2. this means the slope of f(x) = -2.

finally, it says the slope of g(x) = -6, and -2 > -6. i hope this helps! :)

What is the wquation of a circle with center (-2.3) and radius 4
yanalaym [24]
The equation of any circle is

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = radius^2 where our center is (a, b)

Therefore, our equation is as follows.

(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16

Why is the point-slope form useful if you want to write the equation of a line through a point that is parallel to a given line.
il63 [147K]
Recall what a parallel line is; two lines that are parallel are defined as having the same gradient or slope. Consider a line:

y = mx + b

If we want to find a certain line that is / parallel / to the original line passing through an arbitrary point (x₁, y₁), it is useful to understand the point-gradient or point-slope formula.

The gradient to the line y = mx + b is simply m. So, any parallel line to y = mx + b will have the same gradient. Examples include: y = mx + 1, y = mx + 200, y = mx + g

All we need to know, now, is to identify what specific line hits the desired point. Well, the point-gradient formula can help with that. Recall that the point-gradient formula is:

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is the point of interest.
Hence, it is useful to use the point-slope formula when asked for a point and a set of parallel lines to the original line.
