Answer:

40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of renting a car in Hertz is $ 15 per day plus $ 0.50 for each mile traveled, while in Enterprise the cost is $ 25 per day plus $ 0.25 per mile traveled, to determine how many miles should be traveled to incur the same expenditure in both companies the following calculation must be made:

25 - 15 = 10

0.50 - 025 = 0.25

10 / 0.25 = 40

Therefore, to incur the same cost, 40 miles must be traveled, which is verified with the following calculation:

25 + 0.25 x 40 = 35

15 + 0.50 x 40 = 35

Julie is a math tutor. She charges each student $210 for the first 7 hours of tutoring and $20 for each additional hour.
Maksim231197 [3]
She spent 17 hours tutoring

$210 = 7 hours

$20 x 10 hours = $200

$210 + $200 = $410
7 Hours + 10 Hours = 17 Hours

Graph a line that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a slope of -2
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

-->

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph (-5,-3) and use the slope, -2, to find another point. -2 can also be written as -\frac{2}{1}

\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-2}{1} and  \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{2}{-1} **

Use both. This works because either way, they will lie on the same line with the same slope. So, starting at (-5,-3), go down two points (-)* and to the left 1 (+)*, then, starting at (-5,-3) again, go up two points (+)* then to the right 1 point (-)*.

* If the number is negative, you either go down or to the right. If the number is positive, you go up and to the left.

**Rise over run refers to the change in the y-axis and the change in the x-axis: \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y-axis}{x-axis}. Only one number is negative because, if both were negative, that would make a positive number, but the slope is -2, not 2.

Another way you could do this is by finding points first. All you need to do is turn the slope into a "point". Remember, 2 is the y and 1 is the x:

-2=-\frac{2}{1} = (1,-2) and (-1,2)

Then, using (-5,-3) and your new points, add them separately:

(-5,-3)+(1,-2)\\(-5+1,-3+(-2))\\(-5+1,-3-2)\\(-4,-5)

(-4,-5) is one point

(-5,-3)+(-1,2)\\(-5+(-1),-3+2)\\(-5-1,-3+2)\\(-6,-1)

(-6,-1) is another point. Connect the three points. You can check your work on the graph:
