Answer:
i. daily charge = £13
ii. fixed charge = £6
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of days (x) | Cost in £ (y)
1 | 19
2 | 32
3 | 45
4 | 58
5 | 71
Using the given table, we can represent this situation with an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where,
m = slope = daily charge
b = y-intercept = fixed charge
✔️Thus, using the coordinates of any two given pairs, say (1, 19) and (2, 32):
Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (32 - 19)/(2 - 1) = 13/1
Slope (m) = 13
Therefore daily charge = £13
✔️To find y-intercept (b), substitute (x, y) = (1, 19) and m = 13 into y = mx + b.
Thus:
19 = (13)(1) + b
19 = 13 + b
b = 19 - 13
b = 6
Therefore, fixed charge = £6
✔️Substitute m = 13 and b = 6 into y = mx + b to represent the function given for the situation:
y = 13x + 6
7/6 is 1.167 rounded to the nearest thousandth.
He rode 6 rides times some number that cost 19.56, therefore
6x =19.56
Solve for x to find what the cost is or in this case the value of proportion.
X=3.26
