Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Let
c -----> the cost of some taxi journeys
n ----> the number of miles
we know that
The graph is a line
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is
where
m is the slope
b is the c-intercept (value of c when the value of n is equal to zero)
Observing the graph we have the points
(0,2.5), (5,5.5)
<em>Find the slope</em>
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
we have
-----> because the point (0,2.5) is the c-intercept
substitute in the equation of slope-intercept form
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
come on ! you can literally see that in the chart.
how many parts of the gray 3/8 are covered by the gray 1/4 ?
2 parts = 2/8 are clearly covered by 1/4.
2/8 is what part of 3/8 ?
it is the same question as "2 is what part of 3" ?
is 2 a quarter (1/4) of 3 ? no, 1/4×3 = 3/4 and not 2.
is 2 one third (1/3) of 3 ? no, 1/3 of 3 = 1/3×3 = 1 and not 2.
is 2 two thirds (2/3) of 3 ? ah, 2/3 × 3 = 2. that is correct !
is 2 three quarters (3/4) of 3 ? no, 3/4×3 = 9/4 and not 2.
once you have the same denominator, you can easily compare the numerators and ignore the denominators for such problems.
Answer:
x equals to - 5.5 or - 11/2
