Take a look at the possible answers and see if any make sense.
Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph goes through the origin* Sorry, but the line you mentioned DOES NOT go through the origin. So this can't be the answer.
Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph is a straight line* The line isn't a straight line. The slope between points (0,2) and (1,6) is 4. The slope between (1,6) and (2,10) is 4. But the slope between (2,10) and (3,12) is 2. So the line isn't straight. So this too is the wrong answer.That right there eliminates half the choices because those choices describe things that are NOT in the graph you've been given. Now you have to think for which of the two remaining choices are correct.
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph is not a straight line* This is true. The graph for a proportional relationship is a straight line that passes through the origin. And the points you specified are not for a straight line.
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph does not go through the origin* And this too is true. The line doesn't pass through the origin. And as mentioned above, the graph of a proportional relationship is a STRAIGHT line and passes through the origin.
My personal opinion is that you mistyped, or misread something about the problem and because of that, it's currently impossible to determine which of the last 2 options is the correct one. I suspect the last ordered pair should be 3,14 and not the 3,12 you've entered. Reason for that is the slope is OK for points 1 through 3, but the 4th point is an outlier. If that's the error, then the correct answer is the last option.
Complete Question
Jessica pays a flat rate of $70 for her cell phone and is charged $0.05 for every text she sends. Jessica wants to spend less than $80.00 per month on her cell phone. Write and solve an inequality that shows how many text messages Jessica must limit herself to in order to keep her monthly bill less than $80.00.
Answer:
<em>Inequality: </em>70 + 0.05x < 80
<em>Solution: </em>x < 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the minimum number of SMS.
If 1 SMS is charged at $0.05, then x SMS would be charged at $0.05x
Considering that she pays a flat rate of $70.
The inequality to represent the minimum number of SMS she needs to send is:
70 + 0.05x < 80
To solve this inequality, follow the following steps
Collect like terms
0.05x < 80 - 70
0.05x < 10
Divide through by 0.05
0.05x/0.05 < 10/0.05
x < 10/0.05
x < 200
The solution to the inequality that shows how many text messages Jessica must limit herself to in order to keep her monthly bill less than $80.00 is x < 200.
Answer:
do you have any options for this question just to check??
The first month has the equation raised to 11 which is the number of months left in the period.
So each month the equation would be the same except it would be raised to 1 less than the previous month.
Month 2 = 50(1.003)^10
Month 3 = 50(1.003)^9
Month 4 = 50(1.003)^8
Month 5 = 50(1.003)^7
Month 6 = 50(1.003)^6
Month 7 = 50(1.003)^5
Month 8 = 50(1.003)^4
Month 9 = 50(1.003)^3
Month 10 = 50(1.003)^2
Month 11 = 50(1.003)^1
Month 12 = 50(1.003) ( the last month would not be raised to anything)
