Answer:
the answer would be b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we calculate we can use some common sence thinknig to narrow down the choices. We know that Robert is gonig DOWN the hill, so it doesnt make sence that he woudl have a positive rate of change (i.e. the number feet up the hill he is is decreasing, not increasing) So right away, A & B are clearly wrong.
If we look at the last two (C & D) we can see that if -460 were right after 10 minutes he would have walked down 4,600 feet. This is WAY more that the total height of the hill and so can't be correct.
So C must be correct.
We can check this with some simple math:
This is a horizontal line at y = -3. If you want to find it mathematically, you could find the slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and you would get 0 over 5, so you know the slope is zero. Pick either point and substitute the numbers into point-slope formula. I went with (3, -3) and got (y - -3) = 0(x-3). The right side is just 0, and if you subtract three from both sides to isolate y, you get the equation y = -3.
16x
Both of these expressions are similar expressions, therefore you can simply add the number in front of the 'x'
6 + 10 = 16
Therefore, 6x + 10x = 16x
Answer:
x/-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide by 5 and the denominator will be 5 meaning x would have to be 4.
Make sure your 5 is negative so the whole equation also ends up negative. x/-5=-4/5
