Considering that you are planning the trip with limited budget and only for 4 days (=96h) you must value both time and money when doing it.

If you use the bus you spend $75 + $75=$150 and 12h + 12h = 24h. This means you spend $150 to enjoy 96h - 24h = 72h of actually camping. This means you pay $150/72h = $2,08 per hour of actual camping.

On the other hand if you choose the plane you spend $150 + $ 150 = $300 and 1,5h + 1,5h = 3h. This means you spend $300 to enjoy 96h - 3h = 93h. This means you pay $300/93h = $3,22 per hour of actual camping.

Considering all that, taking the bus his the most cost-effective option (and the cheaper one also).

The office manager of a small office ordered 140 packs of printer paper based on average daily use, she knows that the paper wil
Mandarinka [93]

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

So slope intercept form is The office manager of a small office ordered 140 packs of printer paper based on average daily use, she knows that the paper will last about 80 days

(A) Lets make a table

X axis represents the Number of days paper used

y axis represents the packs of printer paper used

x            y

days      packs of printer paper used

0            0               (0 days , 0 packs used)

80          140           (in 80 days , 140 packs paper used)

The graph is attached below

(B) To find Equation of a line we use points (0,0)  and (80,140)

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{140-0}{80-0} = \frac{7}{4}

y intecept is (0,0)

so b= 4

Slope intercept form of a line i y=mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So slope intercept form of line becomes

y= \frac{7}{4} x

Standard form is Ax + By =C

y= \frac{7}{4} x

Multiply both sides by 4

4y = 7x

Now subtract 7x on both sides

-7x + 4y =0 is the standard form

(c) To find packs of printer paper  the manager expect to have after 30 days, Plug in 30 for x  and find out y

y= \frac{7}{4} x

y= \frac{7}{4}(30)= 52.5

Total 140 packs of printer paper

52.5 packs of paper used

Packs of paper remaining after 30 days = 140- 52.5= 87.5

Is 15 yards to 18 yard increase or decrease
patriot [66]
It is increase, because 15 is less than 18. Other way around, if the question is 18 to 15 yards, then that would be decrease, because it is getting smaller.
