<em>Here we are required to determine the initial monthly fee charged by the electric company.</em>

The initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10

To solve this, we need to evaluate the slope and intercepts of the equation of the straight line graph of the relation.

y = mx + c.

  • where m = slope of the relation.

  • and c = <em>intercept = the initial fee charged by the electric company</em>.

  • y = <em>Monthly charge at each time</em>.

  • x = Usage

To find the slope;

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(X2 - x1)

  • m = (28 -22)/(150 - 100)

  • m = 6/50

  • m = 0.12.

By substituting m into the equation y = mx + c, alongside a pair of values of usage and monthly charge, we can obtain the intercept, c (i.e the initial fee charged).

Therefore, m = 0.12 , y = 82 and X = 600;

we then have;

  • 82 = 0.12(600) + c.

  • C = 82 -72

  • C = $10.

Therefore, the initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10.

Hunter-Best [27]
Unless this is a trick question, I think 7 baskets. If you have 7 baskets then you can put 5 peaches in each basket. Hope this is right.

It will take Mr. warner 15 1/2 hours to install a fence. Each day he works 1 1/3 hours on the fence. After he finished working o
zmey [24]
15.5-3.5=12. this is how many hours he has worked already.

12/1⅓=9. this is because how many hours he has worked per how many hours he worked per day to show how many days he worked

the answer is 9 days.

12hours * 1day/1⅓ hours
^^ignore that if it doesn't make sense, but basically the hours will cancel and you'd be left with days as your only unit to show why you would divide 12 by 1⅓


hope this helped!
