Answer:
Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16
Part 2) Option A. x = 5
Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9
Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
Let
x -----> the number of months
y ----> vertical jump in inches
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(0,16) and (2,17)
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is
we have
-----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept
substitute
convert to function notation
f(x)=y
Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(5, 0) and (5, −2)
the slope is undefined
This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)
therefore
The equation is
x=5
Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(−1, 2) and (3, 1)
step 2
Find the equation of the line into point slope form
we have
substitute
Convert to standard form
Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction
Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario
we know that
The <u>independent variable</u> is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)
The <u>dependent variable</u> it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))
Let
x ----> the number of rides
y ----> the total cost in dollars
In this problem
The independent variable or input is the number of rides
The dependent variable or output is the total cost
