Answer:

x = 17 y= -38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -21

y = x - 55

It doesn't matter whether x or y is 55 less than the other right now.

substitute for y:

x + x - 55 = -21

solve for x:

2x = 34

x = 17

solve for y:

17 + y = -21

y = -38

What does "What scale would be appropriate to graph the data?" mean?

shusha [124]

I think it means which graph is the best at representing the data or data set.

For example if you were to graph the population of an animal you would use a line graph to represent the data

If you were determining how much percentage you would get a job you would use a pie graph. Etc

A phone company charges $0.50 per minute and a connection fee of $1. If you were to represent the total cost y of an x minute ca

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50

Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0

We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.

According to the question:

Let the number of minutes be "x" .

And the total cost charged be "y" .

So,

The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee

Re-arranging in term of x and y.

⇒ $total\ cost = (no.\ of\ minutes)(per\ minute\ charge) + connection\ fee$

⇒ $y=0.50(x)+1$ ...equation (i)

Slope- intercept form: $y=m(x) +b$ m is the slope and b is the y-is intercept.

⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.

⇒ $m=0.50$ and $b=1$

So,

The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
