Chapter 4: Linear Functions and Relations

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form with the given slope and $\mathit{y}$-intercept. Then graph the equation.

Slope: 2, $\mathit{y}$-intercept: 4

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for each graph shown.

Graph$y=2x-3$.

State whether each sentence is true or false. If false replace the underlined word or number to make a true sentence.

The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the $y$-axis .

A shipping company charges $\$8.50$ to ship packages that weigh up to 1 pound and role="math" localid="1647336641330" $\$7.25$for each additional pound. Which of the following piecewise-defined functions represents the cost C of shipping a package that weighs p pounds?

A $C\left(p\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}8.50\text{if}p\le 1\\ 8.50+7.25p\text{if}p>1\end{array}\right.$

B $C\left(p\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}7.25\text{if}p\le 1\\ 7.25+8.50p\text{if}p>1\end{array}\right.$

C$C\left(p\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{8.50if}p\le 1\\ 8.50p+7.25\left(p-1\right)\text{if}p>1\end{array}\right.$

D$C\left(p\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{8.50if}p\le 1\\ 8.50+7.25\left(p-1\right)\text{if}p>1\end{array}\right.$
