Let time be x distance be y

  • 140x=y-(1)
  • 290x=360-y-(2)

Put value in eq(2)

\\ \rm\longmapsto 290x=360-(140y)

\\ \rm\longmapsto 440x=360

\\ \rm\longmapsto x=1.2min

Put it in eq(1)

  • d=1.2(140)=168m

You are taking hang-gliding lessons. The cost of the first lesson is one and a half times the cost of each additional lesson. Yo
kow [346]
So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.

First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.

Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.

260= 3/2x + 5x

Combine like terms.

260 = 13/2x

Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)

Sever21 [200]

To find the height of the cactus, make a ratio.

58 inches divided by 4 feet equals x inches divided by 8 feet.

58/4 = x/8

14.5 = x/8

116 = x

The height of the cactus is 116 inches.

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 is a vertical graph hence the perpendicular graph would be a horizontal line, a y= ____ graph.

Since it passes through the point (-2, -5),

the equation of the line is y= -5.

This would be in slope- intercept form since the gradient of horizontal lines is zero.

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that gradient =0, m=0

y= 0x +c

when x= -2, y= -5,

-5= 0(-2) +c

-5= c

c= -5

Thus the equation is y= -5.
