Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, so we can already conclude that b=-1.

This results in y = mx - 1

We also have the x-intercept, and we know that the y-coordinate of an x-intercept is always 0. This means that we have the point (4,0). Substitute this into the formula to generate m:

0 = 4m - 1

4m = 1

m = 1/4

thus y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x - 1

A certain hybrid car has a mileage rating of 57 miles per gallon. if the car makes a trip of 293 miles, how many gallons of gaso

dlinn [17]

To determine the number of gallons of gasoline that is used, we need to know the rate of usage of gasoline. This rate would describe the number of gasoline in units of volume that is being used per distance in units of length. In this case, we need the rate in units of miles per gallon. From what is asked and the given values, we simply divide the rate to the the total distance that was traveled by the car. We calculate as follows:

Gallons of gasoline = 293 miles / 57 miles / gallon
Gallons of gasoline = 5.14 gallons

Therefore, about 5 gallons of gasoline was consumed by the hybrid car for a distance of 57 miles.

Can I get help on 6 and 7

Aloiza [94]

The cost depend on the number pencils, so the cost is the y and # of pencils is the x
Same as for question 7
To graph, the length depend on the time, so length is y, time is x
6. Linear
