Answer:

Here's what I get.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A. Equation in standard form

The question is asking you to find the equation of a straight line that passes through two points

Let x = the number of days

and y = the cost

Then the coordinates of the two points are (2,225) and (5,480).

(i) Calculate the slope of the line

\begin{array}{rcl}m & = & \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\& = & \dfrac{480 - 225}{5 - 2}\\\\& = & \dfrac{255}{3}\\\\& = & 85\\\end{array}

In other words, the daily rental is $85/day.

(ii) Calculate the y-intercept

\begin{array}{rcl}y & = & mx + b\\480 & = & 85 \times 5 + b\\480 & = & 425 + b\\b & = & 55\\\end{array}

(iii) Write the equation for the line

y = 85x + 55

That is, the cost is $55  plus $85/day

Part B. Equation in function notation

Replace y with ƒ(x)

ƒ(x) = 85x + 55

Part C. Graphing

Let's say you want to plot a graph of the rental cost for up to ten days.

(i) Calculate two points on the graph.

When x = 0, y = 85; when x = 10, y = 905.

(ii) Scale your axes

A good number of intervals is about ten.

Your x-axis should have tick marks at 1-day intervals.

Your largest y-value is 905. Ten intervals would make about $90/interval. However, you should round that up to $100/interval for easy interpolation.

Your y-axis will run from 0 to $1000 in $100 intervals.

Plot your two points and draw a straight line through them.

(iii) Axis labels

x represents the number of days, so the label on the x-axis could be "No. of days."

y represents the cost of renting the boat, so the label on the y-axis could be "Rental cost."

Your graph should resemble the one below.

Suppose y varies directly as x, and Y=80 when x=16 . Which of the following statements is true?
liubo4ka [24]
The following answer is B because it shows that it has to multiply the x - axis by the slope (5) to make sure that it can be equat to the y - axis.

y = 5x
y =5(16)
y = 80

(x, y) = (16, 80)

Can someone pls help me with number 5 pls show your work so i can understand thanks
Natali [406]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent Aaron's age with x and

Charlene's age with x+8

x+x+8=44

2x+8=44

2x=44-8

2x=36

x=36÷2

x=18

Aaron is 18 years old.

While Charlene is 18+8=26 years old.

a bottle of hand lotion is on sale for $2.25 . If this price represents a 50% discount from the original price , what is the ori
N76 [4]
So 2.25 is 50% of the original price
let's write original price as x
50% of x = 2.25
0.5 * x = 2.25
divide both sides by 0.5
x = 4.5

The original price is 4.5

To check:
50% * (4.5) =?= 2.25
0.5 * 4.5 =?= 2.25
2.25 = 2.25

Hope this helps.
