A) How much would it cost to ship a package weighing 3.2 pounds? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Shipping cost of 3.2 package is $4.13.
We can't use the cost assigned to 3 lbs because the package is over 3 lbs but it is not over 4 lbs so we use the cost of 4lbs. (check the attachment for price)

b)What type of graph is needed to represent the Media Mail shipping prices as a function of the weight of the books shipped? Explain your thinking.

Line graph is needed to represent the Media Mail shipping prices as a function of the weight of the books shipped.
In line graph, x values represent the weight in pounds and the y values represent the cost.

c)Graph the Media Mail shipping prices as a function of the weight of the books shipped.
Answer;
When we graph the Media Mail shipping prices as a function of the weight of the books shipped, it will be;

f(x) = 2.69 + 0.48(x-1)

Answer from: deanlmartin

Using the information in the table given, the data models the relationship between weight and shipping cost. Hence ;

3.2 pounds will cost $4.13A scatter plot with a trend line Graph is attached below.

The cost of shipping a package which weighs 3.2 pounds will be the cost of packages in the 4 pounds category as it has exceeded the maximum weight for the 3 pounds class. Hence, the cost will be $4.13.

Graphing an independent and dependent variable is can be represented using a scatter plot with each pair of weight and shipping cost denoted by a mark on the graph.

Therefore, the graph of the relationship between weight and shipping cost is attached.

Answer from: Quest

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

$m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

then, given the following line:

$6x-3y = 18\\6x-18 = 3y$

$\frac {6x} {3} - \frac {18} {3} = y\\y = \frac {6x} {3} - \frac {18} {3}\\y = 2x-6$

so, $m_ {1} = 2$

we are looking for m_ {2}:

$m_{2}=\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\\m_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}\\m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$

then, the line is given by:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + b$

we find "b" replacing the given point:

$8 = - \frac {1} {2} (0) + b\\8 = b$

finally, the equation is:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 8$

option c
