Question 1 (essay worth 10 points) (01.02 mc)the number line shows the distance in meters of two jellyfish, a and b, from a predator located at point x: a horizontal number line extends from negative 3 to positive 3. the point a is at negative 1.5, the point 0 is labeled as x, and the point labeled b is at 0.5. write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between the two jellyfish. (5 points) show your work and solve for the distance using additive inverses. (5 points)

Thanks I really needed help!

it could 14.28 but if its not that one then it has to be the 17 one. hope this ! : )

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
