yan [13]

Answer:

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes used

y ----> is the total cost

step 1

Find the slope of the linear equation

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the ordered pairs

(100,54) and (660, 138)

substitute

$m=\frac{138-54}{660-100}$

$m=\frac{84}{560}=\$0.15\ per\ minute$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=0.15\\point\ (100,54)$

substitute

$y-54=0.15(x-100)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-54=0.15x-15\\y=0.15x-15+54\\y=0.15x+39$

therefore

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Consider the two functions. Which statement is true?

Nitella [24]

Answer: Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We must work with linear equations, remember that the general shape is:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Ok, first we want to find the rate of change (or the slope) of the graphed line:

We know that for a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

The slope is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then for the graphed function, we can see that it passes through the points:

(0, -2) and (4, 0)

Then the slope is:

a = (0 -(-2))/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = 1/2

Now, the slope of the second line is 15/4.

Let's calculate the difference between the slopes:

15/4 - 1/2 = 15/4 - 2/4 = 13/4

(notice that we are calculating slope2 - slope1)

Then the correct option is:

Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4

What is the equation of the following line? (0,0) (-2,-3)

Alexus [3.1K]

Assuming you want the slope, the answer is -2/-3.

X-change: -2

Y-change: -3

X-c/Y-c = -2/-3

If -2/-3 is not an answer, try 2/3 or .666 (infinite 6s).

About the $x$ -axis (washer method):

$\displaystyle\pi\int_2^5\left(6^2-\left(\frac43x-\frac23\right)^2\right)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{16\pi}9\int_2^5(20+x-x^2)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{56\pi}$

About the $y$ -axis (shell method):

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_2^5x\left(6-\left(\frac43x-\frac23\right)\right)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{8\pi}3\int_2^5x(5-x)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{36\pi}$

About $x=7$ (shell method):

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_2^5(7-x)\left(6-\left(\frac43x-\frac23\right)\right)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{8\pi}3\int_2^5(35-12x+x^2)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{48\pi}$

About $y=2$ (washer method):

$\displaystyle\pi\int_2^5\left((6-2)^2-\left(\frac43x-\frac23-2\right)^2\right)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{16\pi}9\int_2^5(5+4x-x^2)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{32\pi}$
