Answer:
C(x) =
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the field = 3600 square feet
Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot
Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'
now,
Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet
or
B = feet
and total length to be fenced = x + 2B
therefore,
Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced
or
Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )
substituting the value of B from (1)
Total cost of fencing, C(x) =
or
C(x) =
Part A
The graph is shown below as an attached image.
The diagram shows a straight line that goes through the two points (0,-3) and (1, -5)
I'm using GeoGebra to graph the line.
side note: (0, -3) is the y intercept which is where the graph crosses the y axis.
==================================================
Part B
Answer is choice 2
The graph can be written in the form y = mx+b, so it is linear
In this case, m = -2 is the slope and b = -3 is the y intercept
We can write the slope as m = -2 = -2/1. This tells us that we can move down 2 units and then over to the right 1 units to get from point to point. This process of "down 2, over to the right 1" happens when moving from point A to point B in the diagram below.
