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.

Lisa and her daughter weigh 185 pounds all together. The ratio of lisa’s weight to her daughter weight is 4:1 . How much does li
zzz [600]

Since the ratio of mother to daughter is 4:1, the weight of the mother and daughter together is five times the weight of the daughter.

In fact, if the daughter weights d pound, the mother weights 4d pounds, and the total weight is d+4d = 5d.

We know that this total is 185 pounds, so we have

5d = 185 \iff d = \dfrac{185}{5} = 37

So, the daughter weights 37 pounds.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(−8,2) and (-11, 3)? Write your answer in simplest form.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . So the answer would be -1/3 bc 3 - 2 = 1 and -11 - (-8) = -3.
