Rooter Plus charges a $25 service fee plus $40 per hour of work done. Is this a proportional or non-proportional relationship?
1 answer:
Answer:
Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u>and the line passes through the origin</u>
Let
x -----> the number of hours
y ----> The total charge in dollars
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
we have
substitute
This relationship is not proportional, because the line not passes through the origin
therefore
Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour

If a right triangle has equal legs, it is by definition a 45-45-90 triangle. So, the two sides would be x and the hypotenuse would . However, we know the hypotenuse, and we do not see a
anywhere. That means it has already been multiplied by it, so to get the lengths of the sides we simply divide 26 by
