Answer:

The width is 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Length with L and Width with W

Variation: Inverse Proportion

L \alpha \frac{1}{W}

L = 58; W = 3

Required

Solve for W when L = 2

First, we need to determine the constant of variation

L \alpha \frac{1}{W}

L = \frac{k}{W}

Where

k = constant of variation

Substitute the following values: L = 58; W = 3

58 = \frac{k}{3}

Solve for k

k = 58 * 3

k = 174

To solve for W when L = 2, we simply substitute values for L and K in the expression L = \frac{k}{W}

2 = \frac{174}{W}

Solve for W

2 * W = 174

2 W = 174

W = 174/2

W = 87

<em>Hence, the width is 87</em>

A taxi charges a pick-up fee p!us a charge per mile. Maria paid $15.00 for a 7 mile rode. To my paid $19.50 for a 10 mile ride.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee.  The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation.  A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change.  For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost.  In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5.  So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50.  To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'.  So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b.  or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
