Consider the data shown on the graph:

Question

(5 points)

a) The y-intercept represents the base price of $ ___ for airfare from NYC.

b) The slope represents a cost of ___ cents per mile traveled.

c) According to the equation given, someone who traveled 2,000 miles from NYC would pay $___ for their airfare.

d) According to the equation given, someone who paid $500 for airfare from NYC would have traveled ___ miles.

e) If the base cost for airfare changed to $50 and the cost per mile is unchanged, the new equation would be ___.

fill the blank.
a.) 30
b.)1000
c.) 800
d.) 200
e.) y=50+0.30x
f.) y=30+0.50x

Answer 1

a) The y-intercept represents the base price of $ 30 for airfare from NYC.
b) The slope represents a cost of 0.30 cents per mile traveled.
c) According to the equation given, someone who traveled 2,000 miles from NYC would pay $ 630 for their airfare.
d) According to the equation given, someone who paid $500 for airfare from NYC would have traveled 1,000 miles.
e) If the base cost for airfare changed to $50 and the cost per mile is unchanged, the new equation would be y=50+0.30x.

Answer 2

are you sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The answers I provided are based on the information given in the question and analysis of the graph.

Answer 4

so, what's a and b

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion. Looking at the graph, the y-intercept represents the point on the y-axis where the line intersects. In this case, it appears to intersect at approximately $30. So the correct answer for "a" is $30.

For "b," the slope represents the rate of change of the line. In this case, the slope appears to be approximately 0.30, which means that for every mile traveled, there is an additional cost of 0.30 cents. So the correct answer for "b" is 0.30 cents per mile traveled.
