Felicia is considering two companies for the installation of her new carpet. The carpet companies installation rates are shown.

Carpet Company A: C = 1.35y + 100 where c is the cost and y is the number of square yards.

Carpet Company B: This company charges $2.05 per square yard for the carpet and the installation.

Identity the unit rate in dollars per square yard for each carpet company.​

Respuesta :

Using linear function concepts, it is found that:

  • The unit rate for company A is of $1.35.
  • The unit rate for company B is of $2.05.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

For Company A, the equation is:

y = 1.35y + 100.

The slope is of m = 1.35, hence the unit rate is of $1.35.

For Company B, as already stated in the problem, the unit rate is of $2.05.
