Answer:

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We need to calculate the fixed and variable cost (per mile) of renting a car. To do that, we will use the high-low method:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (65 - 58) / (170 - 100)

Variable cost per unit= $0.1 per mile

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 65 - (0.1*170)

Fixed costs= $48

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 58 - (0.1*100)

Fixed costs= $48

y= 48 + 0.1x

x= miles driven

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y intercept of -5?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is how you move so you could also call it m

The y intercept is where you begin so you could call it b

So every time you need to find the equation or which one is like the slope just remember m=move b= begin

y=mx+b

Are the fractions 1/5 , 5/5 , and 5/1 equivalent?Explain.
Debora [2.8K]
No, these equations are not equivalent. 

1/5, or one fifth, is part of a whole. Imagine you have a pie, cut into five pieces, and your friend comes over and eats four pieces, so now you have one of the five original pieces. That's what you have here. 

5/5, or five fifths, is a whole. any number divided by itself is automatically one, so it is like making another pie and cutting it into five pieces, only this time no one eats any of it because it's burned or something. At the end, you have five pieces of pie

5/1 is actually just another way of writing plain old 5. To keep the pie example rolling, you have five pies, and no one eats any of these either, so they are all yours. You have 5 pies divided between one person, so at the end of the day you have 5 whole pies. 

Hope that helped!
