Answer:

Option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line:

Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two distinct points on a line.
It is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
Slope of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
Slope gives the constant rate of change or a measure of change between two points.

Hence, from the given options slope is not a line segment joining two points but it is the change in the line segment between two points.

Hence, option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it costs 37 cents to mail a letter that weighs 1 oz or less. This would mean that for x ≤ 1, P(x) should equal 37. Already, we can eliminate A and D.

We also know that it costs an additional 26 cents for at most another ounce added to the original 1 ounce. This means that for 1 < x ≤ 2, P(x) = 26 + 37 = 63. This is shown by B.

Thus, the answer is B.

When a student sold an Xbox on eBay for $145, she was charged a two-part final value fee: 5.25% of the first $25 of the selling

Contact [7]

Selling Price = $145

Charge on first $25 is 5.25%
5.25% of $25 = $\frac{5.25}{100}*25= \frac{5.25}{4} = 1.3125$

Charge on rest is 3.25%
rest amount = $145 - $25 = $120
3.25% of $120 = $\frac{3.25}{100}*120=3.9$

$Total\ charge=1.3125+3.9=5.2125 =\boxed{5.21}$
