Question 204855: On two occasions last month, Sam rented a car on a business trip. Both times it was the same model from the same company, and both times it was in San Francisco. Sam now has to fill out an expense account form and needs to know how much he was charged per mile and the base rate. On both occasions he only got the total charge and not the details. All Sam knows is that he was charged $210 on for 625 mi on the first occasion and $133.50 for 370 mi on the second trip. Plot these two points on a graph and draw a line that goes through them.
After plotting these two points on a graph and drawing the line that goes through them, answer the following:
What is the equation of the line in the slope intercept form of the equation?
In your own words, explain what question the slope of the line answers for Sam.
What does the y intercept tell Sam and how does it help him?

Question 205260: I am trying to figure out a "word" problem. It goes, Let W be all the words in English. A relation L is defined from W to the positivei ntegers that associates each word with the number of letters in the word. For example, L(the)=3 since the word the has three letters.
The question is:
a) What pairs in L have second coordinate 1?
b) Is this relation a function and explain.
If I am using a word sample, I cannot come up with any words that would have a second coordinate of 1. The word "I" = 1 or would any letter in the alphabet have a coordinate of 1 but the question is asking for pairs.
Thanks,
Lori
