Answer:

Option D is correct

$2.50 per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

y = mx+b                      .....[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line.

b is the y-intercept

As per the statement:

The function y = 3.75 + 2.50(x - 3)

where, y can be used to determine the cost in dollars for a uber ride of x miles.

Using distributive property: a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

we have;

y = 3.75+2.50x-7.50

⇒y = 2.50x-3.75

On comparing with [1];

m = 2.50

⇒rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles = $2.50 per mile

therefore, $2.50 is the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles

<span>The cost of each mile is $2.50.

If you simplify the expression given you will get the following.
y = 3.75 + 2.50(x - 3)
y = 3.75 + 2.50x - 7.50
y = 2.50x - 3.75.

Knowing that x is the number of miles and 2.50 is the number being multiplied by, we know that the cost per mile is 2.50. </span>

<h3>Answer:   Choice D</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

The given equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

We see that m = 1/2 is the slope of y = (1/2)x-7

We'll use this slope along with the point (x1,y1) = (-3,-2) to get the following

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-3))\\\\y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x+3)\\\\

Which is why choice D is the answer.

Note: this final equation is in point slope form.

Here are two expressions whose product is a new expression, :
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1. Fill in the box with 1

2. Fill in the box with -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression:

(-2x^3 + [\ ]x)(x^{[\ ]}+1.5) = A

Solving (1): Fill in the box to make it a polynomial.

To make it a polynomial, we simply fill in the box with a positive integer (say 1)

Fill in the box with 1

(-2x^3 + [1]x)(x^{[1]}+1.5) = A

Remove the square brackets

(-2x^3 + x)(x^1+1.5) = A

(-2x^3 + x)(x+1.5) = A

Open bracket

-2x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 1.5x = A

Reorder

A = -2x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 1.5x

The above expression is a polynomial.

This will work for any positive integer filled in the box

Solving (2): Fill in the box to make it not a polynomial.

The powers of a polynomial are greater than or equal to 0.

So, when the boxes are filled with a negative integer (say -2), the expression will cease to be a polynomial

Fill in the box with -2

(-2x^3 + [-2]x)(x^{[-2]}+1.5) = A

Remove the square brackets

(-2x^3 - 2x)(x^{-2}+1.5) = A

Reorder

A = (-2x^3 - 2x)(x^{-2}+1.5)

Open brackets

A = -2x-3x^3-2x^{-1}-3x

Collect Like Terms

A = -3x^3-2x-3x-2x^{-1}

A = -3x^3-5x-2x^{-1}

Notice that the least power of x is -1.

Hence, this is not a polynomial.

A tool set is on sale for $424.15.The original price of tthe tool set was $499.00. What percent of the original price is the sal
Jet001 [13]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is out of the original price so do 424.15 / 499.00 to find what it is out of in decimal form. Multiply your answer by 100 to find the percentage.

So:

424.15 / 499.00 =0.85

0.85 x 100 = 85

So the answer would 85%.

Hope this helps!
