Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is B) the cost of removing 80% of pollutants is $196,000.
Using the equation, we have
240(80)/(100-80) = 240(80)/20 = 196
Since this is in thousands of dollars, we have 196,000.
Using the equation, A is not correct; it would be 160,000.
The vertical asymptote would be at 100%.
B must be the correct answer.
Slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,-2)....x1 = 2 and y1 = -2
(4,1)...x2 = 4 and y2 = 1
now we sub into the slope formula and solve for the slope
slope = (1 - (-2) / (4 - 2) = (1 + 2) / 2 = 3/2
now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(4,1)...x = 4 and y = 1
now sub into y = mx + b formula and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(4) + b
1 = 6 + b
1 - 6 = b
-5 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3/2x - 5 <==
X+yz : is the answer to your question.
please finished the question so we can help get a better understanding
