Answer:
You are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
collinear means that they are on the same line, so they are collinear because of the definition of collinear
The y intercept is 5, since slope is y=mx+b. The x intercept is at -2. If you have more problems like this there is an amazing calculator that graphs equations like this for you. www.symbolab.com. Hope this helps!
Y=mx+b, m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(7-4)/(6--3)=3/9=1/3
y=x/3 +b, now use either point to solve for b, I'll use (6,7)
7=6/3 +b
7=2+b
b=5 so our line is:
y=x/3 +5 or more neatly...
y=(x+15)/3
let h be the number of hours then
A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )
B → C = 175h + 150
for 26 hours
A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150
B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700
Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal
Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same
175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )
25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )
25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )
h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal
Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours
