Remark
I take it that you mean y^2 = 36x. The first thing you should try and do is get a graph of the given equation. I've done that for you. Notice a few characteristics.
1. The graph opens left. Usually most graphs like this one open up or down.
2. The graph is open ended on the right.
3. There is only one open end.
4. The graph is continuous, but it is not a function. (that's a fact -- but not needed in this question).
When you get a graph looking like this, you have either a graph called a quadratic or a parabola. Either (but not both) could be your answer. If you have choices list them in a comment.
You factor out 2y from the situation
Answer:
y-3 = 4/7(x-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point slope form is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
We know the slope (4/7)
and a point (7,3)
Lets substitute into the equation
y-3 = 4/7(x-7)
Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.
Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6
= 34 + 6x
Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7
= 23 + 7x
Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then
34 + 6x = 23 + 7x
7x - 6x = 34 - 23
x = 11
