So as you can see, -3 is the y-intercept. You would make a point on (-3,0) first. Then from the point, you would go up 1 and go right 2 because the slope is a positive 1/2 slope.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it y is 0 then we can find the X intercepts. so there will be one X intercept.
Find the velocity first, the "slope".
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)
m=21.25 ? Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...
m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)
m=21.25 LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.
Anyway...
y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)
53=21.25(2)+b
53=42.5+b
10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:
y=21.25x+10.5
So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference".
so, let's find 2 good points (I mean by that with integer coordinates). I see e.g.
(-1, -1) and (0, -7)
x changes by +1 (from -1 to 0).
y changes by -6 (from -1 to -7).
so, the slope is -6/1 = -6.
D is the right answer.
