Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the rate of change of a line

The steepness of a slope means how close it is to being vertical

The greater value of slope means, more steepness. The value of slope can wither b positive or negative

We have to compare the slopes of all given options to find the steepest slope

As the options are in slope-intercept form, the coefficients of x will be the slope

So,

a. Slope = -4

b. Slope = 8

c. Slope = 2/3 = 0.66

d . Slope = 1/7 = 0.14

We can see that the largest value of slope in negative and positive is 8

So,

Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Rent a truck charges a daily rental of 39$ plus 0.16$ per mile. a competing agency, ace truck rentals, charges 25$ a day plus 0.

charle [14.2K]

39 + 0.16m = 25 + 0.24m
39 - 25 = 0.24m - 0.16m
14 = 0.08m
14 / 0.08 = m
175 = m <=== they will cost the same at 175 miles

39 + 0.16(175) = 39 + 28 = $ 67
25 + 0.24(175) = 25 + 42 = $ 67
they will both cost $ 67 <=====

Trash Cans: Elliot's family has a cylinder shaped trash can. It takes the family a few days to fill the trash can up. Elliot wan

Elza [17]

The volume of cylinder shaped trash can is 4698 cubic inches, if the trash can has a height of 24.90 inches and a diameter of 15.50 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

Trash can has a height of 24.90 inches

Diameter of 15.50 inches

Step:1

Formula to calculate the volume of cylinder,

$Volume, V = \pi r^{2} h$ .............................(1)

Where, r - radius of cylinder

h - Height of cylinder

From given,

h - 24.90 inches

D - 15.50 inches

Diameter to radius conversion,

$Radius, r = \frac{d}{2}$

$= \frac{15.50}{2}$

r = 7.75 inches

Equation (1) becomes,

$V = \pi (7.75^{2} )(24.90)$

$= \pi (60.0625)(24.90)$

$=\pi (1495.556)$

$=(3.1416) (1495.556)$ (∵ $\pi = 3.1416$ )

= 4698.42

≅ 4698 cubic inches

Volume of trash can, V = 4698 cubic inches

Result:

The volume of cylinder shaped trash can is 4698 cubic inches, if the trash can has a height of 24.90 inches and a diameter of 15.50 inches.
