Slope of the line is -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given points are (1, -2) and (3, -5)
- Step 2: Equation for slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
⇒ m = (-5 - -2)/(3 - 1) = -3/2

The 40
Is better . It’s like your paying 1 for it and the other one maybe like 1.50 or so
Answer:
ai) 73000 gal/yr
aii) $730 per year
b) 1000 days
Step-by-step explanation:
ai) The water usage per day is ...
(4 showers/day)(10 min/shower)(5 gal/min) = 200 gal/day
Then the usage per year is ...
(200 gal/day)(365 days/yr) = 73,000 gal/yr
__
aii) The cost of electricity is the cost of heating half the water usage, so is ...
(0.20 kWh/gal)(1/2)(73,000 gal/yr)($0.10/kWh) = $730/yr
__
b) The current daily cost of electricity for heating water is ...
($730/yr)/(365 days/yr) = $2/day
If the cost is cut in half, it will be $1 per day. That means the savings is $1 per day, so it will take 1000 days to recover the $1000 initial cost. (Effectively, the average cost for the first 1000 days is the same as if the water heater had not been replaced.)
