let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmmm what is the slope of line S anyway?

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-7}{6-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{4}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{3}}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3 and runs through (5,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-5)\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3}+2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{4}{3}

A ride-share company has a fee that includes a fixed cost and a cost that depends on both the time spent travelling, in minutes,
zlopas [31]

Answer:

the cost of Roy's ride is $23.05

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Let, Cost of per minute charge is 'x' & Cost Of Per Kilometre charge is y .

  • Given, A ride-share company has a fee of the fixed cost of a ride is $2.55 .
  • And, The Total cost of the Ride depends on both the time spent on travelling(in minutes), and the distance travelled(in kilometres) .

⇒ Judy's ride costs $16.75 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 16.75-2.55 = $14.20, took 8 minutes & The distance travelled was 10 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 8x+10y=14.20 ⇒ Equ. 1

⇒ Pat's ride costs $30.35 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 30.35-2.55 = $27.80, took 20 minutes & The distance travelled was 18 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 20x+18y=27.80 ⇒ Equ. 2

Now, on Solving Equation 1 & 2, We get

x=0.4(Cost of per minute charge) & y=1.1(Cost Of Per Kilometre charge)

Now, Roy's ride took 10 minutes & The distance travelled was 15 km . Thus, the cost of Roy's Ride is 10x+15y ⇔ 10×0.4 + 15×1.1 ⇔ $20.5

Hence, the total cost of Roy's ride is 20.5 + 2.55(fixed cost) = $23.05
