The common difference
(-73 - -40)/(28 - 17) = -3
Term a1: -40 - (-3*(17-1)) = 8
Term a2: 8+-3=5
Term a3: 2
Term a4: -1
Term a5: -4
You have to make the mixed number into a fraction in order to divide
solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b. "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
ax + by = c
by = -ax + c <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>
y = (-a/b)x + c/b <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>
Answer: slope is -a/b and y-intercept is c/b
Answer:
4.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
we first need to calculate the total distance he covered and total time taken whole for the journey.
Distance= speed X time
time = Distance/speed
let the total distance be X. he covers 2/5 if the journey first.
2/5 = 0.4
Time = 0.4x/45 hours
the remaining journey is 3/5x
he covers 1/3 X 3/5= 0.2x
time taken = 0.2/90 X hours
the remaining distance = 100× 1.2 = 120km
we add 0.4x + 0.2x to get the fraction he had covered
0.6x.
the remaining distance was X - 0.6x = 0.4 X
thus 120 km represents 0.4x of the journey
we calculate now the value of X
0.4x = 120
X = 300km
Total time taken = 0.4x/45 + 0.2/90 + 1.2 hours
replace X to get time
2.7 hours + 0.7 hours + 1.2 hours
= 4.6 hours
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Gasoline fill-up fee = $4.50
Cost per hour = $40
Average cost = C
Number of hours the scootcar is rented = h
Cost per h hours = $40h
Total cost = $40h + $4.50
Hence,
C = 40h+4.5
B. To plot the graph of the function, find h- and C- intercepts.
When h = 0, then C = 4.5, and we have point (0,4.5)
When C = 0, then 0 = 40h + 4.5, h = -45/400 = -0.1125, and we have point (-0.1125,0)
Plot these two points and connect them with a straight line.
Graph is attached, but you should take only that part of the graph that corresponds to points with h > 0, because the number of hours cannot be negative
