The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $4495 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $200.50 for each ton of sugar. The second company charges $6500 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $100.25 for each ton of sugar For what amount of sugar do the two companies charge the same?
What is the cost when the two companies charge the same?

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

no
