Attorney a charges a fixed fee on $250 for an initial meeting and $150 per hour for all hours worked after that. write an equation in slope-intercept form. attorney b charges $150 for the initial meeting and $175 per hour. find the charge for 26 hours of work for each attorney. which is the better deal? at how many hours does this attorney become a better deal?

Using the slope - intercept relationship, the charges for each attorney is :

General form of a slope - intercept equation :

Attorney A :

Attorney B:

Cost of each attorney for a 26 hour work :

Attorney A :

y = 150(26) + 250 = $4150

Attorney B :

y = 175(26) + 150 = $4700

Hence, the better deal is Attorney A

Hours when Attorney A becomes the better deal :

150h + 250 < 175h + 150

250 - 150 < 175h - 150h

100 < 25h

4 < h or h > 4

After 4 hours,

Therefore, Attorney A becomes the better deal at five hours.

let h be the number of hours then

A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )

B → C = 175h + 150

for 26 hours

A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150

B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700

Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal

Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same

175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )

25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )

h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal

Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours

correct

step-by-step explanation:

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab  in the y coordinate 

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

  x coordinate 

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

  y coordinate 

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

  x  coordinate 

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

  y  coordinate 

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

  x  coordinate 

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

  y  coordinate 

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

  x  coordinate 

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

  y  coordinate 

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

  x  coordinate 

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

  y  coordinate 

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

  x  coordinate 

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

  y  coordinate 

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

  x  coordinate 

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

  y  coordinate 

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
