Algebra.Com's Answer #688837 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem forces us to assume that Pedro has just entered the toll road. He has gone no miles on the toll road yet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x, miles traveled on the toll road \n" ); document.write( "y, the toll to be paid for x miles\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to his plan, (5, 1.75), an (x,y) point.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to what happened, (9, 2.75), another point.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope m: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Picking the \"plan\" point and found slope \n" ); document.write( "and putting into point-slope equation form: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and put into slope-intercept form:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is |
