Hello, this is a linear problem so we are working with y = mx + b
The problem tells us:
y = total cost
x = the megabytes of data that she used in a month
b = y-intercept, which is the initial value
The problem asks "Which part of the graph will represent the cost per megabyte of data used in each plan?"
It is asking for cost per megabyte... This is a rate. and m = slope = rate
So lets, reiterate.
y = total cost
x = the megabytes of data that she used in a month
b = y-intercept, which is the initial value
m = slope = rate = cost per megabyte of data used
Answer: The slopes of the two lines.
Answer:
C and E
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we plug in the X values of the coordinates into the equation to see if they'll give us the corresponding Y value.
(X, Y)
Example:
Y = 5X
6 != 5 * 3
We do this for every coordinate point. If the problem doesn't make sense, it doesn't fall on the line. Let's test every one of these.
B. (0, 1)
1 != 5 * 0
C. (3, 15)
15 = 5 * 3
D. (4, 2)
2 != 5 * 4
E. (-1, -5)
-5 = 5 * -1
F. (-1, 5)
5 != 5 * -1
* For those who don't know, the != is how to say "not equal to" in computer science.
Answer:
D. √((2 +4)² +(5 -8)²)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance is found using the formula ...
d = √((x1 -x2)² +(y1 -y2)²)
Selection D has this formula properly filled in with the values ...
(x1, y1) = (2, 5)
(x2, y2) = (-4, 8)
