Suppose a five minute overseas call costs $5.91 and a 10 minute call costs $10.86. What is the equation and how long can you tal

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of minutes of call made.

Let y represent the cost for x minutes of call.

If we plot y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, a straight line would be formed. The slope of the straight line would be

Slope, m = (10.86 - 5.91)/(10 - 5)

m = 4.95/5 = 0.99

The equation of the straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where

c = intercept

m = slope

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 10, y = 10.86 and m = 0.99 into y = mx + c. It becomes

10.86 = 0.99 × 10 + c = 9.9 + c

c = 10.86 - 9.9

c = 0.96

The linear function becomes

y = 0.99x + 0.96

Therefore, for $12, the number of minutes would be

12 = 0.99x + 0.96

0.99x = 12 - 0.96

0.99x = 11.04

x = 11.04/0.99

x = 11.15 minutes

(b) The man is going to exit the stairwell at the 4th floor, which is at a height of 42 feet above
atroni [7]

The time taken to get to the 4th can be obtained by dividing the distance given by the speed of the lift.

Distance, height from ground to 4th floor = 42 feets

Time taken to get to the 4th floor = t

Recall :

Time = Distance / speed

  • We aren't given the speed of the lift ;

  • Assume speed of lift is 7 ft/sec

The time taken to get to the 4th floor will be :

  • t  =  \frac{42}{7}  = 6 \: seconds

Therefore, to obtain the time taken, divide the distance or height of the 4th floor by the speed of the lift.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 10x - y = 2?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the equation, we first need to put the equation into slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

So first, we need to get y by itself.

10x-y=2

Subtract 10x from both sides.

-y=-10x+2

Then, divide -1 on both sides.

y=10x-2

Slope=10

<h3>What is Linear Equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term has an exponent of 1 and when this equation is graphed, it always results in a straight line.

Here, The solution to this Linear System is already shown by the graph. This is also called the Graph Method. The Solution of this Linear System is this common point in this case, (0,2).

Since each equation is represented by a line. So We have  g(x) for the red line, and f(x) for the blue one. Each line is a set of points, We know that from the Euclidean Geometry and its common point (0,2) solves this system.

Thus, the correct answer is option c i.e. (0, 2)
