Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by creating a linear equation.

Slope: 2.50

Y-intercept: 4.70

y=2.50x+4.70

Since we know that the total fare was 24.70 we can plug it into the y.

24.70=2.50x+4.70

Now solve for the equation.

20=2.50x

8=x

So he went 8 miles with the taxi.

Identifying Slope and y-Intercept of a Line
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

y = 1 - 3x = -3x + 1

slope = -3

y-intercept at 1

y = 3x - 1

slope = 3

y-intercept at -1

x - 3 = y → y = 1x - 3

slope = 1

y-intercept at -3

x + 3 = y → y = 1x + 3

slope = 1

y-intercept at 3

Answer:

<h2><em><u>Option</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>B</u></em><em><u>:</u></em></h2><h3><em><u>112</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>families</u></em><em><u> </u></em></h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

No. of families = 75

Out of 75 no. of families had cars = 42

Out of 1, no. of families can have cars

=  \frac{42}{75}

<em><u>Therefore</u></em><em><u>, </u></em>

Out of 200 families, no. of families had cars

= 200 \times  \frac{42}{75}

=200 \times   \frac{14}{25}

= 8 × 14

= 112

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>, </u></em>

<em><u>option</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>B</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>correct</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>as</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>112</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>families</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>have</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>cars</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>out</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>of</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>200</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>families</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>

=11

1 ratio of votes=6644÷11

Y = x^2+ 7x - 5 can be written in the form y = (x + a)^2+b
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex

Given y = x² + 7x - 5

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

y = x² + 2( \frac{7}{2} )x +\frac{49}{4} - \frac{49}{4} - 5

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{49}{4} - \frac{20}{4}

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{69}{4}

Hence

a = \frac{7}{2} and b = - \frac{69}{4}
