Answer:

slope = $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = mx + b:

The slope (m) is the rate of change for every<em> x </em>number of labor hours. What this implies is that whenever the input (x-value) or the number of labor hours increases or decreases, the value of y (total cost) will increase by the given slope value.

Slope: The painting company charges $50 for every 1 hour of labor.

The y-intercept (b) represents the flat rate or initial value. In the given problem, it states that the company charges $500 for supplies. This means that regardless of whether the company finishes working on the painting job, they will charge their customers the flat rate.

Combined, the linear equation will be:

y = 50x + 500

Lupita rides a taxi that charges a flat rate of $6.75 plus $3.20 per mile. If the taxi charges Lupita $40.03 in total for her tr
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by  ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 /  ($3.20/mile)

  =  10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.

on the first day of a trip, Ricky drove 800 miles in 20 hours. At that rate, how many miles did he drive in 1 hour?
mr Goodwill [35]

We are trying to find miles/hour, which shows that we are going to be dividing the total number of miles by the total number of hours. Thus, in this case, the miles/hour rate will be:

\dfrac{800 \,\textrm{miles}}{20 \,\textrm{hours}} = 40 \dfrac{\textrm{miles}}{\textrm{hour}}


He drove 40 miles in one hour.

Given the parent function f(x) = x², define the function g(x) that
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Part 1) g(x)=-x^{2}

Part 2) g(x)=(x+3)^{2}

Part 3) g(x)=x^{2}+7

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The parent  function is f(x)=x^{2}

This is a vertical parabola open upward with vertex at origin (0,0)

Part 1) Reflection over the x-axis

The rule of the reflection across the x=axis is equal to

(x,y) ------> (x,-y)

so

f(x) -----> g(x)

The function g(x) will be

g(x)=-x^{2}

Part 2) Horizontal shift left 3 units

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ------> (x-3,-y)

so

f(x) -----> g(x)

The function g(x) will be

g(x)=(x+3)^{2}

Part 3) Vertical shift up 7 units

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ------> (x,y+7)

so

f(x) -----> g(x)

The function g(x) will be

g(x)=x^{2}+7

David has a piece of wood that is 7.28 meters long. He needs 4 pieces of wood that are each 1.75 meters long. If he cuts the woo
Tema [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can go at this a couple of ways:

1. The total length David needs is (1.75 m) × 4 = 7.00 m. His 7.28 m piece is long enough to provide the pieces he needs.

__

2. The length of each piece when the wood is cut into quarters is ...

  (7.28 m)/4 = 1.82 m

This is longer than the 1.75 m needed, so each piece is long enough.
