It costs $6.95 to ship a 4-pound package and $9.35 to ship a 7-pound package. The shipping charge can be modeled by a linear function of the form y = mx + b, where y represents the shipping charge in dollars and x represents the weight of the package in pounds. What is the cost to ship a package that weighs 13 pounds?

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3

yes   because as the functions are graphed they eventually will intersect unless otherwise
