Answer: The first hour is free, and the rest charges is $2.50
Let x be the time.
Let y be the total
Your equation will look like
When x < 2, y = 0
When x > 1, y = $2.50(x)
So:
1 < x < ∞ for hours, then equation will look like:
y = total amount
$2.50 is cost (remember that the first hour is for free, and so you subtract $2.50 from the total.
$2.50x - $2.50 = y should be your equation.
hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part A: That 6 pounds of rice costs $18
Part B: (1,3) represents the unit price
Part C: 4 pounds of rice, because $12/3 equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: The first point, 6, is on the amount of rice axis and the second point, 18, is on the total cost axis.
Part B: The unit price means the price for just 1 of something, so if you go to 1 pound of rice on the graph, you see it's at 3 on the total cost axis. Which means that 1 pound of rice costs $3.
Part C: From Part B you know that 1 pound of rice equals $3. So if you spend $12, then you can divide that by $3 to see how many pounds of rice you bought. 12/3 equals 4, so you bought 4 pounds of rice. Or you can count by 3's until you get to 12: 3, 6, 9, 12. That's 4 times so that means you bought 4 pounds of rice.
(5,22.45),(7,25.45)
slope = (25.45 - 22.45) / (7 - 5) = 3/2 or 1.5
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1.5
use either of ur points...(5,22.45)...x = 5 and y = 22.45
now sub and find b
22.45 = 1.5(5) + b
22.45 = 7.5 + b
22.45 - 7.5 = b
14.95 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1.5x + 14.95.......this means that each quart of oil costs $ 1.50 and the labor fee costs $ 14.95
