question 8

Multiple Choice

Write an equation for the linear function and use it to answer the given question.
-The cost of renting a car is a flat $44, plus an additional 0.24 cents per mile that you drive. How far can you drive for $89?

• A) \(\mathrm { r } = 44 + 0.24 \mathrm {~m} ; 188\) miles
• B) \(r = 44 m - 0.24 ; 2\) miles
• C) \(\mathrm { r } = 44 \mathrm {~m} + 0.24 ; 2\) miles
• D) \(r = 44 - 0.24 \mathrm {~m} ; 554\) miles

Definitions:

Divergent

Pertains to tectonic plate boundaries that move away from each other, leading to the creation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap.

Convergent

Pertaining to a tectonic boundary where two or more lithospheric plates move toward each other, commonly resulting in mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Transform

Relates to a type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, often causing earthquakes.

Mid-Ocean Ridges

Underwater mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics, where new oceanic crust is created by volcanic activity along divergent plate boundaries.
