1a.) y=0.5x+2 1b.) The 0.5x is the slope. It represents the amount of extra money you are paying (in addition to the automatic $2) per mile. The y-intercept is 2. That represents the amount you automatically pay for that company.
2.a) I forgot how to do point-slope form, but for 2b., the slope is representing the same thing as in 1a. The slope is .65 and it is representing the amount of money you pay (in addition to the automatic $1.75) per mile.
To find the answers to the table question, use the slope intercept formula, y=.65x+1.75 Plug the numbers they are asking about in for x.
Example: Plugging in 3 we get y=(.65)(3)+1.75 which will equal 3.7 so the amount of money you pay after driving for 3 miles is $3.70. (:
First you need to find the amount of money the discount decreased. 10(0.2)=2 Then, in order to find the sale price you need to subtract the discount price from the original price of the burger. 10-2=8 Answer: $8
