The cost of sending an overnight package from Los Angeles to Miami is $26.30 for a package weighing up to but not including 1 po
und and $4.00 for each additional pound or portion of a pound. A model for the total cost C (in dollars) of sending the package is С = 26.30 + 4.00[[x]], x > 0, where x is the weight in pounds.
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is shown in the pic.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost model will have a fixed cost of $26.30 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 lb and variable cost of $4.00/lb for x > 1.
As seen on the pic, the graph will be that of the greatest integer function that is vertically stretched by a factor 4.00 & shifted 26.30 units upward.

First find the slope of the given line like this:
If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:
and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
The equation of the line is then the following:
