Answer:

b = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair.

This situation can be described by an equation of the form y=mx+b , where

x = the time in hours

y = the cost in dollars.

What is the value of b in this equation?

A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair

Writing the above in an equation =

y = $70 × x + $40

y = 70x + 40

Therefore, the value of b in the expression = 40

You have to find the slope of the line. It will give you the conversion rate from inches to centimetres or the other way around.

Looking closely at the graph, or using a ruler as reference, you can estimate that 30 cm ≈ 12 in. In terms of the graph, the line very nearly passes through the point (12, 30). It also passes through the origin, (0, 0), since 0 cm = 0 in exactly.

The slope of the line is then

\dfrac{30\,\mathrm{cm}-0\,\mathrm{cm}}{12\,\mathrm{in}-0\,\mathrm{in}} = \dfrac{30\,\rm cm}{12\,\rm in} = \dfrac{5\,\rm cm}{2\,\rm in} = 2.5\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm in}

which means that 1 in ≈ 2.5 cm.

So, if Sarah's height is 64 in, we convert this to cm and find her height is (approximately)

64\,\mathrm{in} \times 2.5\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm in} = \boxed{160\,\rm cm}

BigorU [14]

Answer:

4.5 It doesn't come out evenly, but cross products do work.

Step-by-step explanation:

She is not correct.

50 * x = 3 * 75              Combine the right

50x = 225                    Divide by 50

x = 225/50

x = 4.5
