Answer:

x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5

y = one time delivery fee = $135

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost of each gift basket

y = one time delivery fee

40x + y = 715 (1)

400x + y = 5935 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

400x - 40x = 5935 - 715

360x = 5220

x = 5220/360

x = 14.5

Substitute x = 14.5 into (1)

40x + y = 715 (1)

40(14.5) + y = 715

580 + y = 715

y = 715 - 580

y = 135

x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5

y = one time delivery fee = $135

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

y(x) = ax + b

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that b = 17.32

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is a = 0.0732

Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.

y(x) = ax + b

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, not mixed number or decimal.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

<em>The slope is:</em>

m=-\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m of a line is calculated using the following formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where the points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)  are two points belonging to the straight line

Notice in the graph that the line passes through the points

(0, 2) and (2, -1)

Then the slope is:

m=\frac{-1-2}{2-0}

m=\frac{-3}{2}
