Ok, so first we must understand what the slope of a line actually is. The slope, or gradient, is the value by which y increases (or decreases, if this is negative) for each increase of one unit in the x-value. So basically what you should think about for this question is, as x increases, does y decrease, increase or stay the same?

From the graph, we can see that as the value of x gets larger, the value of y also increases, therefor the slope is positive.

For the other answers:

If the slope were negative, we would see that the y-values would get smaller as x would get bigger.

If the slope was zero, you would see a horizontal line; this means that there is no change in the y-value as x-increases.

If the slope was undefined, you would see a vertical line; this is an extreme case where you cannot say how much y increases by as the line continues till infinity, therefor we say that it is undefined.

What equation represents a line that when if graphed, passes through the points (0, -1) and

Keith_Richards [23]

Y= 2x-1
Explanation: First, you find slope. If the first point it x-axis point is 0 and the second x-axis point is 1 then you already know the answer is over 1, so you have to figure out how many up you are going on the y-axis from -1 to 1. Which is 2, so your slope is 2/1 or just 2. Next, you find your y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the easy way to find this is finding what y is equal to when x is equal to 0, in the problem you are told (0, -1) as a point, so they gave you your y-intercept right there, which is -1. Finally you right the equation in slip intercept form (y= mx+b) which is y= 2x-1

Answer:

the graph shift down 135 units

Step-by-step explanation:

when there is no fixing cost:

f(x)=12x-1400

when there is fixing cost (0ne time): 12x-(1400+135)

the graph shift down 135 units

Ivanna will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an a

natka813 [3]

First, let's make these two into equations.
The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.
Our equation would then be
C = 40 + 0.16m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
The second plan has an initial fee of $51 and costs an additional $0.11 per mile driven.
So, the equation is
C = 51 + 0.11m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
Now, your question seems to be asking for one mileage for both, equalling one cost. I would go through all the steps I've taken to try and find this for you, but it would probably take hours to type out and read. In short, I'm not entirely sure that an answer like that is possible in this situation, simply because of the large difference in the initial fee of the two plans, along with the sparse common multiples between the two mileage costs.
