Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
14x + 18 + x = -112(x + 36) + 13
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute -112: 14x + 18 + x = -112x - 4032 + 13
- Combine like terms: 15x + 18 = -112x - 4019
- Add 112x on both sides; 127x + 18 = -4019
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 127x = -4037
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -4037/127
The rate of change would be 7. you would plot your first point on the graph at (-2,0) and the next one would be up 7 and over 1 for your next plot point.
Every transformation like
translated the graph vertically, k units up if k is positive, k units down if k is negative.
So, in your case, we have that 
is the same graph as 
, except it's shifted 1 unit down.
The independent variable would be the fixed rate of $3 because the amount for each mile driven changes based on how far they drive
