The slope of the line would be 3
Given:
Terri plans to charge a base fee of $10 plus $7 per hour for babysitting.
To find:
The function that could be used to represent her total charge for the babysitting service, y, as a function of the number of hours she babysits, x.
Solution:
Let y be the total charge for the babysitting service for x hours.
Base fee = $10
Additional fee for one hour = $7
Additional fee for x hour = $7x
Total fee = Base fee + Additional fee for x hours
Therefore, the equation of required function is .
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- first box = 0
- second box = 0
- third box = 4
- fourth box = -3
It's not a typo that 0 is written twice.
==============================================================
Explanation:
This is considered a step function because it resembles steps or a staircase. The vertical pieces aren't drawn to allow it to remain a function (or else it fails the vertical line test). Also there should be open holes at each left endpoint.
Recall that any horizontal line has a slope of 0 due to the fact that the rise is 0
slope = rise/run
The rise takes care of the vertical change in position. But if the line doesn't go up or down, then rise = 0 leads to slope = 0.
In short, the slope of each horizontal portion is 0. It doesn't matter which sub-section you focus on.
This is why you'll type 0 into the first two boxes.
------------------
As for the remaining two boxes, you'll be looking where the graph is the highest and the lowest to determine the max and min y values respectively.
We see that y peaks at y = 4 at the very top. So you'll type 4 into the third box.
Furthermore, we see that the lowest part of the graph is when y = -3. Therefore, this is the minimum aka smallest y value and you'll type -3 into the fourth box.
