Using a linear function, we have that:
a) The fixed cost is of $10.
b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.
c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.
d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:
C(d) = 12d + b
70 = 60 + b
b = 10.
Hence the equation is:
C(d) = 12d + 10.
For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:
C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.
When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:
250 = 12d + 10
12d = 240
d = 240/12
d = 20 km.

Answer:
y < -1/4x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The boundary line appears to go through the points (-4, 0) and (0, -1). This tells you it has a "rise" of -1 for a "run" of 4. The slope is ...
m = rise/run = -1/4
The y-intercept (b) is the point where the y-axis is crossed. The slope-intercept equation of the boundary line is ...
y = mx + b
y = -1/4x -1
__
The boundary line is dashed, so is not included in the solution set. The shading is below the line, so all y-values less than (but not equal to) the boundary line are in the solution set:
y < -1/4x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
We have xy = 28, x² + y² = 65 and x³ + y³ = 407.
Since (x + y)(x² - xy + y²) = x³ + y³,
x + y = (x³ + y³)/(x² + y² - xy)
= (407) / [(65) - (28)]
= 407 / 37
= 11.
Hence the sum of the numbers is 11.
Answer: 23%
Step-by-step explanation: just is rate me good bye
63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.
