Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

two points
cost=y
(4,5.5) and (7,7.75)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(7.75-5.5)/(7-4)=2.25/3=0.75

y=0.75x+b
find b
(4,5.5)
x=4
y=5.5
5.5=0.75(4)+b
5.5=3+b
minus 3 fromboth sides
2.5=b

y=0.75x+2.5
3 hours
y=0.75(3)+2.5
y=2.25+2.5
y=4.75

answer is D

Slope = (7.75 - 5.50)/(7 - 4) = 2.25/3 = 0.75
The equation described by the function is
y - 5.5 = 0.75(x - 4)
y = 0.75x - 3 + 5.5 = 0.75x + 2.5
For x = 3, y = 0.75(3) + 2.5 = 2.25 + 2.5 = 4.75
Therefore, it costs $4.75 to park for 3 hours.

One-fourth of the sum of 6 and 2 times c exceeds 3.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
1/4(6 + 2c) > 3
0.25 (6+ 2c) > 3
1.5 + 0.5c > 3
0.5c > 1.5
c > 3

Or multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the 1/4,
6 + 2c > 12
2c > 6
c >3

Quick Please :) Exponents and powers
MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

(  {4}^{ - 3} ) ^{ - 3}  =  {4}^{9}

( { - 4}^{9} )  ^{2} = ( - 4) {}^{18}

( {4}^{6} ) ^{ - 3}  =      \frac{1}{{4}^{18}}

(  { - 4}^{9} ) {}^{2}  = ( { - 4})^{18}

({4}^{0} ) =  {4}^{0}

Hope this is correct and helpful

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
