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)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that in a linear function of the form 
, 
is the slope and 
is the why intercept.
Part A. Since 
, its slope is 2 and its y-intercept is 6
Now, to find the slope of 
we are using the slope formula:
where
is the slope
are the coordinates of the first point
are the coordinates of the second point
From the table the first point is (-1, -12) and the second point is (0, -6)
Replacing values:
The slope of f(x) is bigger than the slope of g(x), which means the line represented by f(x) is stepper than the line represented by g(x).
Part B. To find the y-intercept of f(x) we are taking advantage of the fact that the y-intercept of a linear function occurs when x = 0, so we just need to look in the table for the value of f(x) when x = 0. From the table 
when 
; therefore the y-intercept of is -6.
We already know that the y-intercept of g(x) is 2. Since 2 is bigger than -6, function g(x) has a greater y-intercept.

Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°:
∠O +∠P +∠Q = 180°
(2x -5)° +(3x -8)° +(10x -17)° = 180°
15x -30 = 180 . . . . . divide by °, collect terms
x -2 = 12 . . . . . . . . . divide by 15
x = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . .add 2
Answer:
x=12 and the scale factor is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From D' to F' is 7.5 and from D to F is 5cm the difference is 2.5. From F' to E' is x and from F to E is 8. This is just understanding what you can see. You find x by figuring out the ratio from 5 to 7.5 is and 8 to x or vise versa. It depends which way you are going. I think you are going from E,D,F to E',D',F'. So from 5cm to 7.5 cm. This is 1.5 because you are dividing 7.5/5. If you needed to find x, it would be 12.
Answer:
$2500 - 2%
$1500 - 4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the interest for the $2500 is x, so the interest for the $1500 is x+0.02.
As an equation, they would look like this:
2500x+1500(x+0.02)=110
Now solve
2500+1500x+30=110
4000x=80
x=0.02
That means the interest for the $2500 is 0.02, or 2%, and the interest for the $1500 is 0.04, or 4%.
