Jackson pays $18 per month for his phone service, plus $0.07 for each long distance minute used. which of the following correctly describes the y-intercept?

y intercept is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Monthly rent for phone service = $18

charges for each long distance minute = $ 0.07

Let us assume number of minutes used = x

also let us represent total cost by  y

So the total cost = ( charges per minute )(number of minutes) + monthly rent

now we compare this equation with y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is y intercept

so we have b= 18

hence y intercept is 18

linear pair postulates

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
