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.

gavmur [86]

Competition factor are the species of birds responding to in the environment. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is competition?</h3>

If numerous bird species eat on the same tree species, there will be fierce competition for food. As a result of the competition, each species will seek out a certain portion of the plant to feed on, most likely the part of the plant where it will be easiest to outcompete the competitors for food.

As a result, we may deduce that the right response is "They have evolved to diverse niches as a result of competition."

Explain why offspring of plants exposed to radiation may have characteristics not found in the original population.
iVinArrow [24]
Radiation can damage DNA. This could result in a change in the proteins which make up the plant's physical structure. 

<span>For example, a plant might have a gene for purple pigment which makes its flowers purple. Radiation might change the DNA sequence so that the directions for making the purple pigment tell it to stop prematurely, and the result might be white flowers rather than purple flowers.</span>
