Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
We will use the slope intercept form of the line and then convert later.
Equation
y = mx + b is the general form
Givens
Two data points
(4,180)
(9,325)
Solution
325 = 9x + b
<u>180 = 4x + b</u> Subtract
145 = 5x Divide by 5
145/5 = 5x/5 Do the division
29 = x This represents the cost / day
180 = 4x + b Substitute x = 29 to find b
180 = 4*29 + b Combine
180 = 116 + b Subtract 116 from both sides.
180 - 116 = b
64 = b
Solution for y = mx + b
y = 29x + 64
In Standard form this is
- 29x + y = 64 But the first number must be plus
29x - y = - 64 <<<< Answer A
Part B
y = 29x + 64
f(x) = 29x + 64
Part C
The graph is shown below. Various points are filled in using y = 29x + 64. The y intercept is (0,64) which is labeled. Let x = 1 , 2, 3, 4, ... 10 (which is arbitrary). This may be more easily done on a spreadsheet if you know how to use one to make graphs.
using the LCD method.... well, there are a couple of ways, but let's simply add them up.
well, the denominators are 5x and 2x... so the only LCD will just be 10x, since it's divisible by both, so let's use that one.
