A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair. This situation can be described by an equation of the form y=mx+b , where x = the time in hours and y = the cost in dollars. What is the value of b in this equation?

b = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair.

This situation can be described by an equation of the form y=mx+b , where

x = the time in hours

y = the cost in dollars.

What is the value of b in this equation?

A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair

Writing the above in an equation =

y = $70 × x + $40

y = 70x + 40

Therefore, the value of b in the expression = 40

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
