An equipment rental company charges $40 per day to rent a trench digger. A construction crew rented a trench digger for 6 days and paid 270. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that represents the total cost to rent the trench digger as a function of the number of days.

What should x and y equal, what is the y-intercept, and what is the equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept

Let 'x' be the number of daysLet 'y' be the total cost

An equipment rental company charges $40 per day to rent a trench digger.

It means the rate of change = $40 per day

We know that the rate of change is also termed as the slope.

Thus,

m = 40

Given that a construction crew rented a trench digger for 6 days and paid 270.

It means at x = 6, y = 270

substituting (x, y) = (6, 270) and m = 40 in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept 'b'

y = mx+b

270 = 40(6) + b

270 = 240 + b

b = 270 - 240

b = 30

Thus, the y-intercepy b = 30

Now, substituting m = 40 and b = 30 in the slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

y = 40x + 30

Thus, the equation of line in the slope-intercept form is

y = 40x + 30

VERIFICATION:

Put x = 6, in the equation to determine the total cost for 6 days

y = 40x + 30

y = 40(6) + 30

y = 240 + 30

y = $270

Thus, the total cost for days rent = $270

Therefore, x must be equal to 6 i.e. x = 6 to find the total cost i.e. y = 270.

A. (2,0)
B. (7,0)
C. (0,−7)
D. (−7,0)

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

I looked it up

The line with equation y=−2x+7 is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the coordinates of the image of its y-intercept is D  (−7,0).

What is y-intercept of a function?

The intersection of the graph of the function with the y-axis gives y-intercept of that function.

The y-intercept is the value of y on the y-axis at which the considered function intersects it.

Assume that we've got: y = f(x)

At y-axis, we've got x = 0, so putting it will give us the y-intercept.

Thus, y-intercept of y = f(x) is y = f(0)

To find the y-intercept of the line y=-2x+7. When x=0 we have that y=-2·0+7, y=7,

then point (0,7) is the y-intercept.

When we rotate this line 90° clockwise about the origin, then point (0,7) will be placed on the x-axis in positive x-direction.

Rotation preserves the distances, then the coordinates of the image are (7,0).

The correct choice is D  (−7,0).

(if you don't want to do all of this you can use

Step-by-step explanation:

((3•5x2) +  7x) -  2

Factoring  15x2+7x-2

The first term is,  15x2  its coefficient is  15 .

The middle term is,  +7x  its coefficient is  7 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -2

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   15 • -2 = -30

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -30  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   7 .

     -30    +    1    =    -29

     -15    +    2    =    -13

     -10    +    3    =    -7

     -6    +    5    =    -1

     -5    +    6    =    1

     -3    +    10    =    7    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  10

                    15x2 - 3x + 10x - 2

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   3x • (5x-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   2 • (5x-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (3x+2)  •  (5x-1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Emma's grandmother sent her an $80 bookstore gift card for her birthday. Emma wants to make sure that her purchases don't exceed the amount of her gift card. So far, she has selected books that cost $8.95, $11.95, $22.25, and $24.95. She has also found a calendar she likes for $8.25. Round each item up to the next dollar to overestimate the total cost of the items in Emma's shopping basket.

Answers

Answer: total cost of the estimated  items = $76

Step-by-step explanation:

 Step 1

Rounding up each item to the next dollar

Book 1 = $8.95 ≈ $9.00

Book 2 = $11.95≈ $12.00

Book 3 = $22.25≈$22.00

Book 4 =   $24.95≈$25.00

Calendar = $8.25 ≈$8.00

Step 2

The total estimated cost of items in Emma's shopping basket =$9.00+$12.00+$22.00+$25.00+$8.00

=$76  which did not exceed the amount of bookstore gift card of $80 sent by her grandmother.

Answer: 78$

Actual                            Estimate

$8.95 --------------------------$9.00

$11.95--------------------------$12.00

22.25--------------------------$23.00

$24.95------------------------$25.00

 $8.25--------------------------$9.00

Then add the estimate numbers to get $78

Walkway Over the Hudson, a bridge that crosses the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, is 2.063
kilometers long. Anping Bridge, which was built in China 850 years ago, is 2.07 kilometers long.
a. What is the total span of both bridges?
Show your thinking
b. How much longer is the Anping Bridge
than the Walkway Over the Hudson?

Answers

Answer: 4.126 km

Step-by-step explanation:

First, We have to find total span of both bridges

As Question indicates 'total' ,that is, we have to find bridge length in total ( You can join Bridges to have better understanding)

Now, Walkway over hundson Bridge length= 2.063 km

Amping bridge length= 2.07 km

So, Total span of both bridges = 2.063+2.07 = 4.133 km

b) Now Leah wanna walk across and back on walkway over hudson ,that is, she wanna return to starting point from where she walk forth

So,that means, she walk double distance of length of walkway over hudson

So, total distance = 2× 2.063

= 4.126 km
