Answer:
[tex]Y=$24+0.09X[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
February Heat [tex]H_1=1900\textdegree[/tex]
February Gas [tex]G_1 =\$195[/tex]
April Heat [tex]H_2=600\textdegree[/tex]
April Gas [tex]G_2=\$78[/tex]
Generally equation for heating degree-days X is mathematically given by
[tex]X=\frac{\triangle gas\ bills}{\triangle Heating\ days}[/tex]
[tex]X=\frac{195-78}{1900-600}[/tex]
[tex]X=\$ 0.09[/tex]
Generally the equation for gas bill Y is mathematically represented by
[tex]Y=78-(600*0.09)\\Y=\$24[/tex]
The equation representing the relationship between the gas bill (Y) and heating degree-days (X) is
[tex]Y=$24+0.09X[/tex]
