The cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49
Given in the question:
The monthly cost (in dollars) of the water use (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water used (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF)
The cost for using 17 HCF of water is using $32.13
and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.
To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.
Now, According to the question:
The cost for using 17 HCF of water is $32.13
and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.
To find the slope:
(17, 32.13) and (35, 61.83)
Slope = (61.83 - 32.13)/ (35 - 17) = 1.65
We know that:
Formula of slope :
y = mx + b
32.13 = 1.65 x 17 + b
b = 1.14
The equation will be :
C(x) = 1.65x + 1.14
Now, To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.
C(19) = 1.65 × 19 + 1.14
C(19) = $32.49
Hence, the cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49.
