Answer:
1. Multiply the value of the first variable by one of the original equations to solve for the second variable.
2. Solve for one of the variables.
3. Substitute the value of the known variable into one of the original equations to solve for the unknown variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 
x + 
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
To calculate the slope use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)
m = 
= , hence
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (5, 7 ), then
7 = 
+ c ⇒ c = 7 - =
y = x + ← equation in slope-intercept form
The piecewise function is
f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2
f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2
<h3>How to determine the piecewise function?</h3>
From the question, we have:
Fares = $2.00 ⇒ up to (and including) 1/2 miles
Fares = $0.70 increment ⇒ greater than 1/2 miles
Let x represent the number of miles, and f(x) the fares.
So, we have:
f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2
f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2
The above represents the piecewise function
