Answer:

The monthly cost for 45 minutes is $18.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the total calling time in minutes

y ----> the monthly cost in dollars

we have the ordered pairs

(42,18.15) and (90,22.47)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{22.47-18.15}{90-42}

m=\frac{4.32}{48}

m=\$0.09\ per\ minute

step 2

Find the linear equation in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=0.09\\(x1,y1)=(42,18.15)

substitute

y-18.15=0.09(x-42)

step 3

Find the monthly cost for 45 minutes of calls

For x=45 min

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y

y-18.15=0.09(45-42)

y-18.15=0.09(3)

y-18.15=0.27

y=0.27+18.15

y=18.42

therefore

The monthly cost for 45 minutes is $18.42

find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 5 miles less than its length and whose area is 66 square miles
Lyrx [107]
A = l * w
66 = l * (l - 5)
66 = l^{2}-5l
0 = l^{2}-5l - 66

l = 11 or 6 check which works.

A = 11 * 6, which fits.

length = 11 miles
width = 5 miles
