Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
Answer:
18 2/3 miles. 4 x 2/3 =8/3 x 7 = 56/3 ÷3 = 18 2/3 miles.
<span>The slope of a line is -3
</span><span>perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so </span><span>the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line will be 1/3
answer
</span><span>C.1/3</span>
Multiply 6 by 2 and add 6cm. the radius is half of the diameter so just multiply by two and add the number.
