E. 13x-7
Answer:
- Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
- the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
- no snow was melting
- the snow has fallen for 3 hours
Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn
Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10
3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches
Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours
Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t
y = 0.5*t + 10
we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)
the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5
t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours
Just like a function :
- 0.5 is the slope
- t is the variable
- 10 is the y-intercept
Hello :
an equation is : y-5 = 0( x+7)...(the slope =0 '<span> horizontal line ' )</span> y=5
OK first convert one of the equations into Y=MX+b form
Y-2x = 3
Add 2X
Y = 2x +3
Now substitute this equation in the other one.
So it would be
3X - 2Y = 5
3X-2(2x+3) = 5
Now solve for y
3X - 4X - 6 = 5
-1X - 6 = 5
Add 6
-1X = 11
X = -11
Now substitute this into one of the equations
Y - 2X = 3
Y -2(-11) = 3
Y +22 = 3
y = 3-22
y = -19
