Question:
The charge to rent a trailer is $25 for up to 2 hours plus $9 per additional hour or portion of an hour.
Find the cost to rent a trailer for 2.8 hours, 3 hours, and 8.7 hours.
Then graph all ordered pairs, (hours, cost), for the function.
Answer:
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
ordered pair = (3, 34)
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge for 2.8 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 0.8 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
Charge for 3 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (3, 34)
Charge for 8.7 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 0.7 hour
Total = $25 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9
Total = $88
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
The obtained ordered pairs are graphed, please refer to the attached graph.
Hi there!
To derive an equation given the points, we can use the slope formula:
Plug in the corresponding coordinates:
Simplify:
Therefore, we have:
y = -4x + b
Plug in the x and y values for a coordinate to solve for b:
2 = -4(1) + b
2 = -4 + b
b = 6
The equation is:
y = -4x + 6. The correct answer is D.
