A long distance phone call between two cities costs $8.50 for 17 minutes. What is the rate in cents per minute?

.50 cents per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

8.50 divided by 17= 0.50

to check- 0.50 times 17 equals 8.50

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

what
