He can drive 50 miles for every gallon of gas used. Therefore, I believe the slope to be 50/-1

Answer:

Given,

Todd started with 6 gallons of gasoline in his motorbike. After traveling 150 miles, he had 3 gallons remaining.

When Todd had 6 gallons, he hadn't traveled any distance,

and when he had 3 gallons left, he had covered 150 miles.

Thus, the slope or rate of change = \frac{3-6}{150-0} =\frac{-3}{150} =-\frac{1}{50} = - 0.02

Indicating that the slope or rate of change in gasoline is negative, signifying a decrease in fuel as miles increase.

The slope or rate of change of gasoline= - 0.02 gallons/mile

Julie needs to cut 4 pieces of yarn, each with the same length, and a piece of yarn 7.75 inches long. Let x represent the length
tester [8842]

Answer:

y=4x+7.75; continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s first establish the equation. Julie requires one segment of yarn measuring 7.75 inches: that's already known.

y = 7.75

Now, for the four pieces of yarn, each will be of equal length x. If she wants them to measure 1 inch, she'd need 4 inches of yarn. Therefore, the calculation would be:

y = 7.75 + 4x

Now, is this graph discrete or continuous? Continuous indicates there's a smooth line without gaps, while discrete has interruptions or spaces. In this scenario, x is continuous, as Julie can cut the yarn to any size for the four pieces. She is not limited to whole numbers; each piece could be, for instance, 2.5 inches or 3.1415 inches.

lawyer [9240]
In the first month, she made a payment of $1451

In the second month, she paid one-third of that, which amounts to:
1451/3 = 483.66

For the third month, she pays one-third of 483.66 as indicated, meaning she takes one-third of the prior month's payment.

483.66/3 = 161.22

In the fourth month, her payment was

161.22/3 = 53.74

Altogether, her total payments amounted to:

$2149.62 - B.

Hope this information is helpful:)
