Answer:

y=3/4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so to be parallel to an equation of another line, the line must have the same slope but a different y-intercept. First, you need to find the slope of the equation -3x+4y=4. The equation must be in y=mx+b format, so you first move -3x to the right by adding it on both sides, leaving you with 4y=3x+4. Next, you divide 4y by 4 in order to isolate y and do that on the other side. Now, you have y=3/4x+1.

To find the equation of the new line, you must put the point and slope into point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1). In the point (4, 0), 4 would be x1 and 0 would be y1. so, the new equation is y-0=3/4 (x-4). now, distrubute the 3/4, leaving you with y=3/4x-3. This is correct since the slope remains the same in both equations with a different y-intercept. To check deeper, you could place point (4, 0) on a graph and then rise 3, run 4 until you get the line :) hope this helps

Part A: Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. If she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $27

SOVA2 [1]

Part A: To get an equation into standard form to represent the total amount rented (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days, we use the formula for the equation of a straight line.

Remember that the equation of a straight line passing through points is ( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and the points ( x_{2} , y_{2} ) is given by
y - y_{1} / x - x_{1} = y - y_{2} / x - x_{2}

Knowing that Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days, we know if she rents the exact same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total of $275 for the rent.

This means that the line modeling this situation crosses points at (2, 125) and (5, 275).

The equation modeling the total rent (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x days is given by

y - 125 / x - 2 = 275 - 125 / 5 - 2 = 150 / 3 = 50

But if you are writing the equation in standard form it would be 

50x - y = -25

Part B:
When writing the function using function notation it means you are making y the subject of the formula and then replacing the y with f(x).

If you remember that from part A, we have that the equation for the total rent which is y that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days is given by
y = 50x + 25.

Writing the equation using the function notation would give us this
f(x) = 50x + 25

Part C:
To graph the function, we name the x-axis the number of days and name the y-axis total rent. The x-axis is numbered using the intervals of 1 while the y-axis is numbered using the intervals of 50.
The points of (2,125) and of (5,275) are marked on the coordinate axis and a straight line is drawn to pass through these two points.

Aaron is making a jewelry box of wood in the shape of a rectangular prism the jewelry box will have the dimensions shown in the

Natali [406]

Answer:

b. $342

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = Length * width

Base Area = 12 * 5

B = 180 square inches.

Perimeter of the prism will be :

P = 2 (length) + 2 (15)

P = 2 * 12 + 30

P = 54 inches

Height of the jewelry container will be :

X = Ph + 2B

X = 54 * 6 + 2 * 180

X = 684 square inches.

Total cost for paint of jewelry box is :

X * cost per inch

Total cost = 682 * $0.50

Total Cost = $342.
