These functions are in the form y=mx+b
Therefore, we know that in g(x) = x+2, the y-intercept is 2.
For f(x) = x-1, the y-intercept is -1.
Now find the difference between them.
2-(-1)= 3
The y-intercept for f(x) is 3 units below g(x)
If this a ratio, then the simplified form would be 2cm : 1cm I believe (6/3 = 2 and 3/3 = 1 so 2:1)
The range would be -1 to 8
First of all you calculate the difference between the numbers:
10.5 - 10.653 = -0.153
10.5 - 10.592 = -0.092
10.5 - 10.732 = -0.232
10.5 - 10.484 = 0.016
You then select the difference with the smallest number (ignoring the positive and negative symbols). That happens to be the last one.
This means that the answer will be D) Spruce Trail.
The value of x is 1.25 or 1 1/4
Explanation
==============================
275x=500-125x
Move variable to the left side and change its sign
275x+125x=500
Collect the like terms
275x+125x=500 =====> 400x=500
Divide both sides of the equation by 400
400x/400=500 =======> x=5/4 which is the same as 1 1/4 or 1.25
Hope this helps : )
