Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given coordinates

A(6, 0), B(0, 0) then AB = 6 - 0 = 6

B(0, 0), C(0, 8) then BC = 8 - 0 = 8

To calculate AC use Pythagoras' theorem on the right triangle formed

AC² = AB² + BC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

Take the square root of both sides, hence

AC = $\sqrt{100}$ = 10

Perimeter = AB + BC + AC = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 → C

Answer:

$y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ to find the slope. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(-5)-(-4)}{(4)-(1)} \\m = \frac{-5+4}{4-1} \\m = \frac{-1}{3}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

2) Use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ into the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point on the line, choose any one of the given points (it doesn't matter which one) and substitute the x and y values of it into the formula. (I chose (1,-4), as seen below). This gives the equation of the line in point-slope form.

$y-(-4) = -\frac{1}{3} (x-(1))\\y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Please help I beg like right now and explain peae

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

When we take a look at the graph, we can see that at around 1 gallon, which would be halfway between 0 and 2, the line is underneath $5.

That means we can eliminate any number that is or above $5.

That leaves us with answer choices A and C.

Let's go to a point that is easily readable. Point (4, 15) is readable, and we can use this to find the price per gallon.

Divide 15 by 4. We get 3.75 as the result.

This means that the answer choice is:

C. The cost of gas is $3.75 per gallon.
