Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
The first number is - 3, then we have a blank and the third number is - 1 1/8
In order for the numbers to be arranged from least to greatest, the number in the center should be greater than -3, and lesser than -1 1/8
Note that for negative numbers, the larger the constant, the smaller the number. i.e. -5 is smaller than -4.
So from the given options, the only number that is greater than -3 and lesser than -1 1/8 is - 2 1/4
So, option C gives us the correct answer to have the numbers ordered from least to greatest.
So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]
If the x-axis <u>does not have to</u> follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]
y = 7x + 50
y = 2x + 175
First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15 Then draw a straight line.
The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225) The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225
We want to solve

Subtract 5 from each side.

Divide each side by 3.

Take natural logs of each side.

Divide each side by 2.
x = 0.9962
Answer: x = 0.996 (nearest thousanth)
