ore than regular gas.
What is the annual difference in gas cost for the following two vehicles?
Car 1: 30 miles per gallon on average with regular gas
Car 2: 25 miles per gallon on average with premium gas
A. $60 per eyarB. $180 per year

Answer: C. $324 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of miles driven per year is assumed to be 12000.

If Car 1 uses 30 miles per gallon on average with regular gas, then the number of gallons used for 12000 miles would be

12000/30 = 400 gallons

Regular gas will cost $2.25/gallon.

Cost of 400 gallons of regular gas would be

400 × 2.25 = $900

If Car 2 uses 25 miles per gallon on average with premium gas, then the number of gallons used for 12000 miles would be

12000/25 = 480 gallons

premium gas will cost $0.30/gallon more than regular gas. It means that cost of premium gas is

0.3 + 2.25 = $2.55/gallon

Cost of 480 gallons of premium gas would be

480 × 2.55 = $1224

The annual difference in gas cost for the two vehicles is

1224 - 900 = $324

Can anyone help me solve 23, 24?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Problem 23) $y=3x+6$

Problem 24) $y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$A(0,2)\ B(3,1)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{1-2}{3-0}$

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

step 2

Problem 23

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of its slopes is equal to minus 1

so

$m1*m2=-1$

Find the slope of the line

we have

$m1=-\frac{1}{3}$

substitute in the equation and solve for m2

$(-\frac{1}{3})*m2=-1$

$m2=3$

with the slope m2 and the point $(0,6)$ find the equation of the line

Remember that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=3$

$b=6$ -----> the given point is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=3x+6$

step 3

Problem 24

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then its slopes are the same

so

with the slope m1 and the point $(0,-5)$ find the equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

$b=-5$ -----> the given point is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5$
