Can someone pls help me with this thx

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 2.9), which the y-intercept represents the pickup fee which is $2.90 before any mileage

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I do apologize that no one responded for two hours.

1 - Understanding what it means to be a y-intercept

When mathematics presents the "y-intercept" its the unimaginative way of saying "Where the equation crosses the y-axis"

Looking at a graph we can deduce that, the y axis in traditional graphs is always at the x value of 0.

What can this mean for this situation?

We want to find out how much each person with 0 miles or no miles driven.

This will be our pickup fee alone

How can we do this?

Theres multiple ways, however the way I like is to set an equation to zero.

2 - Slope Intercept Form

We need to get it into the slope-intercept form using data given to us to use as our equation.

For reference the slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

y = y value

m = slope

x = x value

b = y - intercept

2.1 - Find the slope

for y = mx + b we'll need to find our slope, m, and to do so we use the following formula

[tex]slope = m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} = \frac{change~in~y}{chnage~in~x} = \frac{y_2 ~ - ~ y_1}{x_2 ~ - ~ x_1}[/tex]

To do this we need to assign x values and y values.

Our total cost is our y value, because its a total, and our variable is x which will be our miles.

(x value is always the variable, and our y value is always the totals)

So now looking at the data;

Gus;

$12.00 for a 6.5-mile journey

Tony;

$15.50 for a 9-mile journey

We can deduce at 6.5 miles we'll pay $12, and at 9 miles we'll pay $15.50

Because 6.5 is less than 9 our x1 and y1 will be deduced from that, and with that in mind, let's solve that equation.

POINT → (x, y)

(6.5, 12)

(9, 15.50)

[tex]\frac{y_2 ~ - ~ y_1}{x_2 ~ - ~ x_1} = \frac{15.50 ~ - ~ 12.00}{9 ~ - ~ 6.5} = \frac{3.5}{2.5} = 1.4[/tex]

Our slope is 7/5, so therefore,

y = mx + b

      =

y = 1.4x + b

2.2 - Plug and chug to find our y-intercept, b.

We'll need to plug in a point into the unfinished equation to solve for b

y = 7/5x + b

In this instance let's use (6.5, 12)

(x, y)

12 = 1.4(6.5) + b

12 = 9.1 + b

-9.1  -9.1

2.9 = b

Lets plug that in to our y = mx + b

y = 1.4x + b

        ↓

y = 1.4x + 2.9

And would you look at that, just by setting up the equation we now know our y-intercept, now if you recall from earlier one of my notes said this:

POINT → (x, y)

This is the same thing as coordinate form I'm assuming, and as a result, we have all the information we need to answer the problem.

3 - Putting it together to answer the problem

 POINT → (x, y)

           =

Coordinate Form:

           =

        (x, y)

Now remembering what I said earlier, the y-axis, is always on x = 0

So our y-intercept in coordinate form is;

(0, 2.9)

This means;

The pickup fee is $2.90 which excludes any mileage.

See the answer for it put together

Hope this helps :)

hector's bag contains three kinds of marbles. he is 2 times more likely to randomly select a white marble than a striped marble. he is equally likely to select a white marble as a dotted marble. of the original bag of 10 marbles is tripled, keeping the ratios of striped, dotted, and white marbles the same, how many of each type of marble are in the bag?

Select all that apply. Which of the following shows that 5/6 = 15/18 is a proportion?
5 • 15 = 6 • 18
5 • 18 = 6 • 15
5.6/6.3 = 5/18
5+10/6+12 = 15/18
