A plumber charges $130 2 hours of work and $235 for 5 hours of workWhat is the of change in dollars per hour

Mathematics

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure the rates per hr.

110/3 = 36 2/3

160/5 = 32.

So, the rates are not the same.

Knowing a bit about plumbers, they normally charge a basic fee to just show up, and then they charge per hr.

In cases like these, where we're asked to project to a new data point (in this case an 8-hr job), you should immediately think of a graph. The x-axis would be the hours worked. The y-axis would be the charge for the work (the cost of the job).

We're given two pairs of values:

(3,110) and (5,160).

The next step is to fit a line to them.

y = mx+b is the general equation for a line.

m = the slope = rise/run = change in y / change in x

Call the change in y, dy (for delta y).

Call the change in x, dx (for delta x).

m = dy/dx = 50/2 = 25

The slope is thus 25, which means for each hour, the price goes up by $25. That means the plumber charges $25/hr.

We also know the plumber charges $110 for a 3-hr job. 3*25 = $75. So the base charge would be $110-75 = $35.

y = 25x + 35

Checking this formula at x=3, we know it is 110.

Checking it at x=5, we obtain:

y = 25*5 + 35 = 125 + 35 = 160.

That checks.

Now to figure an 8-hr job, set x=8 and use the equation"

y = 25*8 + 35.

y = 200 + 35.

y = 235.

That means an 8-hr job costs $235.

Which shows a graph of a linear equation in standard form Ax + By = C, where A = 0, B is positive, and C is negative? A coordina
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, negative 3), (0, negative 3) and (4, negative 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax + By = C, where A = 0, B is positive, and C is negative

By= C or y= C/B which is negative

Since A is zero and C is negative, the line is parallel to x- axis and has negative value for y, so it is a horizontal line below zero

---------------

A coordinate plane with a vertical line passing through (1, negative 4), (1, 0) and (1, 4).

  • no, the line is horizontal

A coordinate plane with a vertical line passing through (negative 2, negative 4), (negative 2, 0) and (negative 2, 4).

  • no, the line is horizontal

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, 4), (0, 4) and (negative 4, 4).

  • no, the y-values should be negative

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, negative 3), (0, negative 3) and (4, negative 3).

  • yes, this is horizontal line below zero
