Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the cost of buying the ticket.

Let x represent the number of days

in which the ticket was purchased before the departure day.

The relationship is inversely proportional because as x is reducing, y is increasing. The slope of the equation would be negative

Thus,

Slope = (239 - 189)/(0 - 20 = - 50/20 = - 2.5

If we apply the slope intercept form which is expressed as y = mx + c to model the equation, the y intercept, c would be 239 since it is the y value at which x = 0

The linear function used to model the situation becomes

y = - 2.5x + 239

The cost of the ticket when Marcus buys it for 3 days before his departure would be

y = - 2.5 × 3 + 239

y = - 7.5 + 239

y = $231.5

On a coordinate plane, what is the distance between (-7, 3) and (2,3)?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The distance is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

Plug in the points:

$\sqrt{(2-(-7))^{2}+(3-3)^2 } = \sqrt{(9)^{2}+(0)^2 } = \sqrt{(9)^2} = 9$

What is 2/5% of 820? 1.8 2.05 2.88 3.28

Margarita [4]

Answer:

D) 3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

820/x=100/2.5

(820/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

820=40*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x

820/40=x

20.5=x

x=20.5

now we have:

2.5% of 820=20.5

15 Points all I have left please help.

Answer:

The second water balloon is in the air longer. Balloon 1 will reach the maximum height faster because it is lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you drop the first balloon at a height of 105 ft. The second balloon is dropped at a height of 125 ft. The second balloon stays in the air longer because it was dropped at a higher elevation. Balloon 1 will reach the maximum height faster because it is lower.

If this answer is correct, please make me Brainliest!

On my graph, the black line is the equation for Balloon 1 and the red line is the equation for Balloon 2. Since the black line has a lower maximum, this means that Balloon 1 will reach its maximum first.
