Answer:
- It is a linear equation
- The graph of the equation will show that the <em>y</em> values increase as the <em>x</em> values increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pay Michael gets (y) is the amount per paper ($0.40) multiplied by the number of papers (x) and that product added to the daily base pay of $5. Michael's daily pay (in dollars) can be described by ...
y = 5.00 + 0.40x
This is a linear equation with a positive slope (meaning y goes up when x goes up).
One car travels at a speed of 75 kilometers per hour and the other car travels at a speed of 105 kilometers per hour.
Since both the cars are travelling towards each other their combined speed will be: 75+105=180 km/h.
Now, since the distance between the cars to start with is 540 km. Therefore, the time taken before the cars collide is:
hours.
Now, the speed of the canary is 100 km/h.
Therefore, the Canary flies flies for (100 km/h)x(3 hours) = 300 km before the cars collide.
