Answer:
y = 18x + 10
slope = 18
y-intercept = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The situation given in the problem is linear and can be represented using slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b, where 'm' is equal to the slope, 'b' is equal to the y-intercept, 'x' is the number of hours and 'y' is the total number of miles.
Given that Jasmine has already biked 10 miles, her initial value, or y-intercept would be 10. Since she is now biking at a rate of 18 miles per hour, her rate of change, or slope, would be 18.
Using these values for 'm' and 'b': y = 18x + 10
Answer:
work is shown and pictured
The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%
Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120
