<span>Each set of prices can be described by a linear function. In this case, Company A would be y = 5 + .5x, where y is the fare and x is the number of miles driven. Similarly, Company B would b y = 10 + .1x. The definition of intersection tells us that two lines interstect only at that point where their x and y coordinates are identical, which means, of course, that their y coordinates will be identical. So to find the point of intersection we can examine the point where the y coordinates are the same. Which is to say, where 5 + .5x = 10 + .1x. We can simplify this to .5x - .1x = 10 - 5, then .4x = 5, and finally, x = (5/.4) = 12.5. In other words, the fares will be equal when the miles driven is 12.5</span>
This is pretty hard but um in decimal form it would make 0.9010162353515625, but to simplify it the answer would be 0.9
Answer:
y = -7/6x
Step-by-step explanation:
y - y1 = m*(x-x1)
m=y/x
y - (-7) = -7/6*(x-6)
y + 7 = -7/6x + 7
y = -7/6x + 7 - 7
y = -7/6

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
John gets 24 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 40 into 5 because 2+3 equals 5.
Each "section" equals 8. Now, multiply that by 3(John's section)
You get 24.
