Given:

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges = $1.70 for each mile.

To find:

The equation that represents the total cost y for x miles towed.

Find the y-intercept and interpret  its meaning in the context of the situation. ​

Solution:

Let y be the total cost for x miles.

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges for 1 mile = $1.70

Variable charges for x mile = $1.70x

Now,

Total changes = Fixed charges + Variable changes

y=40+1.70x

Therefore, the required equation is y=40+1.70x.

Putting x=0 in the above equation, we get

y=40+1.70(0)

y=40+0

y=40

Therefore, the y-intercept is 40. It means the charges to hook a car is $40 if it is towed 0 miles.

Lining up of chromosomes in the cell .

Explanation:

Prophase begins with the Thickening of chromosome. Chromosomes are clearly visible inside the nucleus. each chromosome splits longitudinally to form two chromatids.

The centriole in the centrosome of animal cell divides into two. The centrosphere set the centrioles free. Centrioles develop very fine eye-lash like thread called aster rays. the two asters start moving towards the opposite poles. By the end of prophase they reach at the opposite poles.

As our global population rises; so does our appetite for protein. Our meat consumption habits take a serious toll on the environ
Volgvan
<h3>Meat consumption and environment</h3>

Explanation:

Increase in population rises protein demand. Many people meet their dietary protein requirements mainly from animal sources by consumption of meat and meat products like meat, eggs, and processed meat products.

Increased meat consumption leads to increase in global warming. Increased meat consumption raises the demand for meat and animal farming like cattle, poultry and fish farming.

Farm animals release methane through their waste into the environment. Methane is one of the most potential greenhouse gases that cause global warming.  

Animal farming practices requires a lot of water and hence depletes natural water sources. Moreover, the effluent drainage from farmlands pollutes the land as well as natural ground water sources with methane and other pollutants including pathogens and renders the natural sources unusable.

Further, farm animals like cows and goats grazes farmlands and destroys the green cover which helps in carbon sequestration.
