Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept.

In this case, the number that replaces the m (slope) is -1/2, which is your answer.

Answer:

m= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have the equation:

y= -1/2x -3

If we compare the 2 equations:

y=-1/2x -3

y=mx+b

The slope must be -1/2, since x is being multiplied by -1/2

<h3>For 22 kilometers, the two companies charge the same total fare</h3><h3>The total fare is $ 48</h3>

Solution:

Let "x" be the kilometers travelled

For, Mr buchanan, the first cost $26 upfront and $1 per kilometer

Therefore,

Cost : 26 + 1x ------- eqn 1

The second costs $4 plus $2 per kilometer

Therefore,

Cost : 4 + 2x -------- eqn 2

For a certain driving distance, the two companies charge the same total fare

Therefore, eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

26 + 1x = 4 + 2x

2x - 1x = 26 - 4

x = 22

Thus, for 22 kilometers, the two companies charge the same total fare

What is the total fare?

Substitute x = 22 in eqn 2

Cost: 4 + 2(22) = 4 + 44 = 48

Thus total fare is $ 48
