Astore rents dvds for a base fee of $3.00 plus $0.50 for each day th customer has the dvd. this situation can be modeled by the linear equation y = 0.50x + 3.00. which statement compares the graph of this model to that of the parent function y = x?

a. the graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is steeper that the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept above that of the parent function.

b. the graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is less than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.

c. the graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is steeper than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.

d. the graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is less steep than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.

  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation in the model is 0.5, so is less steep than that of the parent function, which has a slope of 1.

The y-intercept of the model equation is +3, so is above that of the parent function, which has a y-intercept of 0.

None of the answer choices have this combination of wording. (Answer choices B and D appear to be the same.)

___

In the attached graph, the model is shown in blue; the parent function is shown in red.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

i'm sure goog can you get that answer
