For this case we have to:
x: Let the variable representing the number of people to travel in the group
y: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled.
If friends only have $22 then we have the following inequality:
Now, if there are three people in the group we have that
The taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles.
On the other hand, if the group wants to travel 10 miles then we have to y = 10.
Thus, they could travel a maximum of 5 people.
ANswer:
Traveling 3 people, the taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles
Traveling 10 miles, a maximum of 5 people can travel
(1) The train travels 4 miles per gallon.
(2) The slope of the graph is
Explanation:
(1) The miles that train travels per gallon is given by
Dividing, we have,
Thus, the train travels 4 miles per gallon.
(2) To determine the slope, let us consider two points from the graph.
The coordinates are and
Thus, substituting the coordinates in the slope formula, we get,
Simplifying, we have,
Thus, the slope of the graph is
