Using a linear function, the correct option regarding the situation is given by:
C) 57 ≤ 1.28x + 38 ≤ 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 14.8 and 38.3 HCF.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The bill is modeled by a linear function, with an <u>intercept of $38 and a slope of $1.28</u>, hence it is given by:
C(x) = 1.28x + 38
The bill should be between $57 and $87 dollars per month, hence:
57 <= C(x) <= 87.
The values of x are:
C(x) >= 57
1.28x + 38 >= 57
x >= 19/1.28
x >= 14.8.
C(x) >= 87
1.28x + 38 >= 87
x >= 49/1.28
x >= 38.3.
Hence option C is correct.

Answer: First Option
The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line has the following form

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the axis of the y
In this case, the equation is:

Observe that

So if x represents the number of texts sent during classes, this means that 
When x increases by one unit then y decreases -0.4. For example when
then 
Then the greatest value it can take the GPA is 3.8. Therefore we can say that the function starts at y = 3.8.
The answer is the first option
We need to find out how much 17 percent of 2,500 is, and then subtract that amount by 2,500. We can use proportions to use this. We can set up a fraction with x/2500 and another fraction with 17/100. Then, we need to cross multiply. This gives us 42,500. Next, we can divide by 100. This gives us 425. We know that they will save $425 if they decrease their energy use by 17%. We now need to subtract $425 from $2,500. This gives us $2,075. If the company is successful in decreasing their energy use by 17%, their bill would be $2,075.
