Answer: Company A would be a better deal for number of minutes over 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes that you would use with either company A or company B.

Company A has a monthly charge of $10 plus 5¢ a minute for each minute of long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is

10 + 0.05x

Company B has a monthly charge of $8 plus 6¢ a minute for long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is 10 + 0.05x

8 + 0.06x

For Company A to be a better deal, it means that

10 + 0.05x < 8 + 0.06x

10 - 8 < 0.06x - 0.05x

2 < 0.01x

0.01x > 2

x > 2/0.01

x > 200

Write an equation of the line through each pair of points in slope-intercept form.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

(6) / (0)

= undefined

If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.

In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.

Therefore, your equation is x = -3.

b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-7) / (-7)

Simplify the fraction.

-7/-7

= 1

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

2 = 1(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

2 = 3 + b

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.

-1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x - 1

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).

y = 1x - 1

-5 = 1(-4) - 1

-5 = -4 - 1

-5 = -5

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!
