It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

If one point on a line is (-2,8) and the line’s slope is -3/2 find the y intercept
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The y intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3/2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for b

8 = -3/2(-2)+b

8 = 3+b

8-3 =b

5=b

The y intercept is 5

Write an equation of the line with slope -2 and passing through (3,1) in slope-intercept form
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

y=-2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The form of slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We are given the slope (-2) and a point (3,1)

We can immediately substitute -2 as the slope in the equation

y=-2x+b

Now we need to find b

Because the line will pass through the point (3,1), we can use it to solve for b

Substitute 3 as x and 1 as y

1=-2(3)+b

multiply

1=-6+b

add 6 to both sides to isolate b

7=b

Substitute 7 as b into the equation

The line is <u>y=-2x+7</u>

Hope this helps!
