Answer:

B) Going to the close store is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of going to the next town:

(8.3mi/22mi) × $3.79 = $1.43

Cost of going to the close store:

(2.3mi/22mi) × $3.79 = $0.40

Can solids undergo convection
zysi [14]
No because solids can't transmit heat by convection, and convection only works because of hotter and quicker moving molecules have a lower density so they rise to the surface. But in a solid, the molecules can't move relative to each other. They only vibrate :)

I have to explained it in words pls help

Answer:

  • slope: cost per mile
  • y-intercept: fixed base cost

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. The problem statement tells you that x is the number of miles driven, and y is the rental cost.

When the number of miles driven is zero, the rental cost is ...

  y = 2.25×0 +70

  y = 70

The cost of renting the truck is $70 when it isn't driven anywhere. The y-intercept ($70) is the basic, fixed cost of truck rental.

__

If x=1 (1 mile driven), then 2.25 is added to the cost of the truck rental. The slope (2.25) is the cost per mile driven. (That mileage cost is added to the basic rental cost.)

I'm pretty sure this is Triangle stuff, with Sin, Cos + Tan, etc.
