Problem: A bus company took a tour bus on the ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following week, the bus had 50 people on board and the ferry charged them $220. How much is the "base rate" for the empty bus? How much does each person cost? Show this using y = mx + b form.
Solution:
Let x = the number of people on the bus
Let y = the total cost for the bus with its passengers to use the ferry.
Then, when there are 30 people on the bus (x = 30), the cost was $180 (y = 180). This means the point (x, y) = (30, 180).
Also, when there were 50 people on the bus, the cost was $220. So that is the point (50, 220).
You see - we have two points and so we can write the equation of a line that goes through those points. The first thing we have to do is find the slope.
The slope of the line joining two points is the rise divided by the run. That means
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
So we put in the values of (30, 180) and (50, 220):
m = (220 - 180) / (50 - 30)
m = 40 / 20
m = 2.
The slope is 2. Now we can write it in the form y = mx + b, using 2 for m:
y = 2x + b.
This equation connects both points, so that means it goes through those points. We want to know "b" next, so we can now substitute in either point for the x and the y. I will substitute in x = 50 and y = 220:
220 = 2(50) + b
220 = 100 + b
b + 100 = 220
b = 120.
Now I know the b and the m, so I can finally write the full y=mx + b form of the equation:
y = 2x + 120.
For the other questions, I can look at the equation I got. The y-intercept (b value) is $120. That means that we are adding $120 on to the price all the time. That's the price for the empty bus. The 2x means to multiply the number of people by two and add this to the $120. So each person is $2.
Here's an example: if you had just 10 people on the bus, you'd pay $120 for the empty bus and $2 for each person. That's $20 for the people and $120 for the bus. That total is $140. Let's see if (10, 140) works in the equation we got:
y = 2x + 120
140 ?=? 2(10) + 120
140 ?=? 20 + 120
yes. 140 = 140. It does work.
Now you try it with your question.
Answer:
A) Weighted graph is attached
B) Shortest routes are;
1. A → C → B → D → A
2. A → D → B → C → A
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told their home is in City A. So that's where any journey will begin from.
Furthermore we are told that;
City A to City B = 296 miles
City A to City C = 206 miles
City A to City D = 79 miles
City B to City C = 497 miles
City B to City D = 241 miles
City C to City D = 281 miles.
I have attached an image of the weighted graph showing the distances on the appropriate edges.
B) We want to find the shortest route using Brute force method. The brute force method is by solving a particular problem by checking all the possible cases/routes to get the desired result we are looking for.
In this case, the desired result is the shortest route for the family to complete their vacation. So, i have attached a diagram showing the different routes via brute force method.
From the brute force method, the shortest length route is 1023 miles and this routes are from Cities;
1. A → C → B → D → A
2. A → D → B → C → A
I believe the answer is x^2-4x+1

The linear relationship in the form y = y = 3n + 72
What is linear relationship?
In statistics, a straight line of correlation between two variables is referred to as a linear relationship (or linear association). The mathematical equation y = mx + b can be used to represent linear relationships graphically.
<h3>According to the given information :</h3>
Each plant generates 34 oz of beans when she plants 30 stalks, and 33 stalks results in 33 oz of beans per plant, according to the information we have provided.
Equation 1 using data 1:
y = mn + b
Equation 1 using data 1:
30 = 34m + b
Equation 2 using data 2:
33 = 33m + b
Subtract equation 1 from equation 2:
33 - 30 = 34m + b - 33m - b
3 = m
m = 3
Rearrange equation 1 to solve for b:
b = 34(3) - 30
b = 102 - 30
b = 72
Therefore the equation becomes:
y = 3n + 72
The linear relationship in the form y = y = 3n + 72
