You would divide 7 by 4. (7/4) each section would be 1.75 miles :)
Answer:
a) y = .70x + 20
-To find this, use the rate as x since it will change based on the number of miles. Since 20 is a flat fee, it can be added at the end as a constant.
b) This graph forms a straight line.
-This is because the answer in a is a linear equation.
c) The slope is .70 and the y-intercept is 20.
-For this one, the y-intercept is always the constant at the end of the equation and the slope is the coefficient of x.
Answer:
The Colossus Ferris wheel debuted at the 1984 New Orleans World’s Fair. The ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. The graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride.
Sine function model: where h is the height of the passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes.
