Answer: Maximum 6 miles
Step-by-step explanation: In total you have $20.
Base fare of taxi is $5.
Per mile cost is $2.50.
Your total cost is where x is the number of miles. Since you're on a budget of maximum $20, the cost should be less than or equal to $20. We can write:
To find how many miles we can write, let's solve the inequality:
.
This means 6 is the maximum number of miles you can ride with $20.
Perpendicular means the two lines' slopes are negative reciprocal to each other. the slope of the given line is 1/3, therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/1, which is -3
use the point-slope form: the given point is (4,1), so (y-1)=-3(x-4)
you can stop right here or you can write it into slope intercept form:
y-1=-3x+12
y=-3x+13
My answer would be 8.. I may not be correct, but I tried. So, I placed the numbers from least to greatest and split it 1’s and 2’s VS 3’s and 4’s. I just added 1 plus 2 plus 2 and a half plus 2 and a half and got 8. I also added (3+3+3)+3 and a half plus 3
