Answer:
6 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
In y = 2x + 3, 3 represents the fixed cost and 2 represents the cost-per-mile.
The per mile charnge, in dollars per mile, is $2/mile (answer)
It would be -1/2 because the formula to find slope (rate of change) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and in this case it would be (4.5-2)/(-3--2) which simplifies to (2.5)/(-5) which is -1/2
Answer:
x = -
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the points of intersection equate the 2 equations , that is
7x - 15 = 10 + 12x - 6x² ( subtract 10 + 12x - 6x² from both sides )
6x² - 5x - 25 = 0 ← factor the quadratic on left side
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 6 × - 25 = - 150 and sum = - 5
the factors are - 15 and + 10
use these factors to split the x- term
6x² - 15x + 10x - 25 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(2x - 5) + 5(2x - 5) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 5) from each term
(2x - 5)(3x + 5) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
3x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 5 ⇒ x = - 
2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x =
