98 points // answer asap // no guessing // answer all parts the cost of renting a car for a day is $0.50 per mile plus a $15 flat fee. (a) write an equation to represent this relationship. let x be the number of miles driven and y be the total cost for the day. (b) what does the graph of this equation form on a coordinate plane? explain. (c) what is the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the relationship? explain.

y = .5x +15

The graph is a line.

The slope is .5   and the y intercept is 15.  The flat fee is the y intercept and the cost per mile is the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flat fee is the y intercept and the cost per mile is the slope

The total cost for the day is equal to the cost per mile * the number of miles driven plus the flat fee.  Let x be the number of miles driven and y be the total cost for the day.

We can use y = mx+b

y = .5x +15

When we graph, x must be greater than 0 because we cannot drive negative miles.

The slope is .5   and the y intercept is 15.  The flat fee is the y intercept and the cost per mile is the slope.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
