Answer:
The y-int represents the base price of $200 for airfare from NYC
The slope represents a cost of 30 cents per mile traveled
If the base cost for airfare changed to $50 and the cost per mile is unchanged, the new equation would be y=50+0.30x
If the cost per mile changed to 50 cents, the new equation would be y=200+0.50x
Answer:
(4x -14)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you intend mixed number coefficients, only the coefficients of x can be combined.
(-2 1/4)x +(3 7/12)x -(4 2/3) = x(-2 1/4 +3 7/12) -(4 2/3)
The mixed numbers are added in the usual way.
(-2 1/4) +(3 7/12) = (-2 +3) +(-1/4 +7/12) = 1 +(-3/12 +7/12) = 1 4/12 = 1 1/3
So the expression simplifies to ...
(1 1/3)x -(4 2/3)
This might be better written as ...
(4x -14)/3

<em>Comment on mixed numbers</em>
It is hard to write mixed numbers so they can be properly interpreted in an algebraic expression. In general, they are better written as improper fractions or as decimal numbers (if the decimal terminates).
