Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
After 3 hours, Spike charges 6 dollars per hour. For 3 hours, the charge is only $5×3 = $15 (which is $3 less than $6×3). So the rate after 3 hours can be modeled by ...
s(h) = 6h -3
For 8 hours, s(8) = 6·8 -3 = 45 . . . . dollars
__
After 4 hours, Main Deck charges 8 dollars per hour. For 4 hours, the charge is only $18 (which is $14 less than $8×4). So the rate after 4 hours can be modeled by ...
m(h) = 8h -14
For 8 hours, m(8) = 8·8 -14 = 50 . . . . dollars
__
For 8 hours, the $45 charge at Spike's is $5 less than the $50 charge at Main Deck.
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
7,150,000
The population of Georgia is 10,500,000.
The population of Virginia is 30% less than that.
So the population of Virginia is 10,500,000 - 30% which equals 7,150,000
