Answer:
Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16
Part 2) Option A. x = 5
Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9
Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
Let
x -----> the number of months
y ----> vertical jump in inches
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(0,16) and (2,17)
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is
we have
-----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept
substitute
convert to function notation
f(x)=y
Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(5, 0) and (5, −2)
the slope is undefined
This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)
therefore
The equation is
x=5
Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)
step 1
Find the slope
we have the points
(−1, 2) and (3, 1)
step 2
Find the equation of the line into point slope form
we have
substitute
Convert to standard form
Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction
Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario
we know that
The independent variable is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)
The dependent variable it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))
Let
x ----> the number of rides
y ----> the total cost in dollars
In this problem
The independent variable or input is the number of rides
The dependent variable or output is the total cost
