Answer: I got C.
Step-by-step explanation: I squared both 3.9 and 9.7 which gave me 109.3. Then, I square rooted it and got 10.45 which rounds to 10.5. Hopefully, this is right.
The correct answer is B.
Explanation
Since each interval mark is 1/4 of a unit, we will write this as 0.25. For the first point, 4 interval marks to the left of the y-axis makes it a negative number; 4(0.25) = 1; this makes the x-coordinate of this point -1. 2 interval marks above the x-axis makes it positive; 2(0.25) = 0.5; this makes the y-coordinate 0.5. This makes the first ordered pair (-1, 0.5).
The second point is on the y-axis. This makes the x-coordinate 0. It is 5 intervals above the x-axis; this makes it positive. 5(0.25) = 1.25 will be the y-coordinate, making the point (0, 1.25).
The third point is 3 intervals to the right of the y-axis; this makes it positive, and 3(0.25)=0.75 for the x-coordinate. It is 3 intervals below the x-axis; this makes it negative, and 3(0.25) = 0.75, making the y-coordinate -0.75. This puts the third point at (0.75, -0.75).
You just add the negative sign -10934 meters
answer
$962.50
set up equation
first, we want to find out how many gallons of gas she'll save a year
x1 = gallons for old car
x2 = gallons for new car
gallons saved = x1 - x2 since she uses more gallons with the old car with a lower miles per gallon
then, find how much she saves on gas by multiply the price per gallon (3.85) by gallons saved
price saved = gallons saved * price
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
gallons with old car
to find the number of gallons, we divide the number of miles (15000) by miles per gallon (24 for the old car)
x1 = 15000 / 24
x1 = 625
gallons with new car
use the same process as with the old car, but with 40 miles per gallon instead
x2 = 15000 / 40
x2 = 375
plug in values
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
price saved = (625 - 375) * 3.85
price saved = 250 * 3.85
price saved = $962.50
