Answer:
-5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(16 = 
and 8 = 
)
Since the base number is 2, the exponents must equal each other.
So:
12x = 3x+18
9x = 18
x = 2

Answer:
- slope: cost per mile
- y-intercept: fixed base cost
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. The problem statement tells you that x is the number of miles driven, and y is the rental cost.
When the number of miles driven is zero, the rental cost is ...
y = 2.25×0 +70
y = 70
The cost of renting the truck is $70 when it isn't driven anywhere. The y-intercept ($70) is the basic, fixed cost of truck rental.
__
If x=1 (1 mile driven), then 2.25 is added to the cost of the truck rental. The slope (2.25) is the cost per mile driven. (That mileage cost is added to the basic rental cost.)
Find the ratio of the similar known sides:
1.34/2 = 0.67
The smaller triangle is 0.67 the size of the larger one.
Multiply the similar sides by the ratio:
DE = 4 x 0.67 = 2.68
FE = 3 x 0.67 = 2.01
Answer:
y = -1x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1x + b
5 = -1(-3) + b
5 = 3 + b
2 = b
y = -1x + 2
