The cost of a service call to fix a washing machine can be expressed by the linear function y = 45x + 35, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of hours it takes to fix the machine. what does the slope represent?
the cost for each hour it takes to repair the machine
the cost for coming to look at the machine
the total cost for fixing the washing machine
the amount of time that it takes to arrive at the home to make the repairs

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
