Suppose:
C=cost
c=cost per kilo-watt hour
w=number of watts
h=number of hours
thus
C=kwhc
where:
k=constant of proportionality:
k=C/(whc)
but
C=15 when w=6000, h=10/60=1/6 hours, c=7.5 cents per kw/h
thus
k=15/(6000*1/6*7.5)
k=0.002
thus:
C=0.002(whc)
hence:
when
h=70*2=140=140/6=70/3 hours the cost will be:
C=0.002(6000*70/3*7.5)
C=2100 cents
C=$21
It’s blurry I can barely see it.
Y=mx+b
lines are parallels so m=2
y=2x+b
line passing through the point (4,2), so x=4 y=2
put these value in equation
2=2*4+b
2=8+b
b=2-8
b=-6
y=2x-6
Answer: y=2x-6

U + 4/5 = 2 and 1/3
Subtract 4/5 from each side of the equation:
U = (2 and 1/3) - (4/5)
Now it's just problem in plain old adding and subtracting fractions,
just like the ones you've done many times before.
First let's change (2 and 1/3) to a fraction: 2 and 1/3 = 7/3
So you have to find the value of (7/3) - (4/5) .
In order to add or subtract fractions, they need to have a common denominator.
The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so that's a good choice.
7/3 = 35/15
4/5 = 12/15
Now the problem is: (35/15) - (12/15).
That's 23/15 . . . . . the same thing as <u>1 and 8/15</u> .
That's the value of ' U '. What an ugly number !
Answer:
You first find two points on the graph. You then count the distance between the two y-values (vertical) then the distance between the two x values (horizontal). The slope is equal to Distance of y-values
________________
Distance of X-Values
That represents a fraction.
Hope this helped and have a great day,
