Slope = difference in y / difference in x
slope = (2 -1) / (1 -2) = 1 / -1
slope = -1
Answer:
Number of quarts can be made in 48 hours - 5,760
Number of quarts Maggie can make during her 8-hour shift - 960
hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
120x48 - 5,760
120x8- 960
In the first case we'd subtract 1 from both sides, obtaining |x-1|<14.
In the second case we'd also subtract 1 from both sides, and would obtain
|x-1|>14.
What would the graphs look like?
In the first case, the graph would be on the x-axis with "center" at x=1. From this center count 14 units to the right, and then place a circle around that location (which would be at x=15). Next, count 14 units to the left of this center, and place a circle around that location (which would be -13). Draw a line segment connecting the two circles. Notice that all of the solutions are between -13 and +15, not including these endpoints.
In the second case, x has to be greater than 15 or less than -13. Draw an arrow from x=1 to the left, and then draw a separate arrow from 15 to the right. None of the values in between are solutions.
Answer:
Brenda.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
the function is
ride cost c = mile rate r × miles m + flat rate f
c = r×m + f
now let's put the values in we know and solve for r and f :
9 = r×3 + f
17 = r×7 + f
now, since one term is the same in both equations, we use a simple trick for speed, and we subtract the whole first equation from the second :
17 = r×7 + f
- 9 = r×3 + f
-------------------
8 = r×4 + 0
r = 8/4 = $2
9 = 2×3 + f = 6 + f
f = $3
the first rate is $3, and it costs $2 per mile.
