Answer:
Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.
If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.
19 miles

6 milesl

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 19^2 = c^2
36 + 361 = c
397 = c
= 19.924859
Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is
19.9 miles

A. The value y-intercept represent in the context of the problem is 50.
B. The slope of the line is -10.
C. The equation to represent the line is y= -10x+50.
D. The number of customers in the restaurant at 8:30pm is 35.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equation of the line is given by y=mx+c.
y is the number of customers and x is the hours.
7.00 p.m. is considered as 0.
To find the slope m =
.
.
From the graph, choose two points. Let us take (0,50) and (4,10).
m=-10.
∴The equation can be written as y= -10x+c.
To find the y-intercept value c, substitute any point.
Let us substitute(0,50) for instance,
50=0+c.
c=50.
The equation for the given graph is y= -10x+50.
To find the customers at the restaurant at 8.30 pm.
we know that x=0 at 7.00 pm,
∴ x=1.5 can be considered as 8.30 pm.
Substitute x=1.5 in the line equation.
y= -10(1.5)+50.
y= -15-50.
y= 35.
