Is it 351,591 or is it the other wag around?
Non of the above. The answer is 40 and I’m sticking to my guns !
Similar meaning you can assume they are proportionate and if every side is doubled then you should double the last. Another way is to use Pythagorean’s theorem and disregard the little triangle completely.
Both ways have me 40 !
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lines are parallel, it means that the slopes are the same. To write an equation in the slope intercept form, we need the slope and the y-intercept. We are given the slope. We need to find the y-intercept. We can use the slope and the point to help us. The point is written in the form (x,y). In this case the point is (2,4) so we will use 2 for x and 4 for y.
y = mx + b Plug in what we know
4 = -4(2) + b b is what we are looking for. It is the y-intercept
4 = -8 + b Now add 8 to both sides
12 = b
Now we can write the equation:
y = -4x +12
Make an equation
Y = 17.95 + 0.87x
Y = total cost, x = miles
153.67 = 17.95 + 0.87x
135.72 = 0.87x
x = 156 miles
