Answer: 3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a motor racing curcuit has length of 5 5/6 miles and a straight section of the curcuit has length of 1 1/4 miles.
To calculate the fraction of the curcuit that is the straight section m, we divide 1 1/4 miles by 5 5/6 miles. We need do convert the fractions to improper fraction first. This will be:
1 1/4 = 5/4 and 5 5/6 = 35/6
This will then be:
= 5/4 ÷ 35/6
= 5/4 × 6/35
= 30/140
= 3/14
The answer is -8. A loss in yardage is a negative.
B, it’s the point that the lines cross
Answer:
x intercept is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the equation for the line
First we find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (2- -4)/(6- -3)
= (2+4)/(6+3)
=6/9
= 2/3
The we can write the equation
y= mx+b
y = 2/3x +b
We can substitute in (6,2)
2 = 2/3(6) +b
2 =4+b
Subtract 4 from each side
2-4 =b
b =-2
y = 2/3 x-2
We want to find the x intercept, so set y =0 and solve for x
0 = 2/3x -2
Add 2 to each side
0-2 = 2/3x
Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate x
-2 *3/2 = 2/3x * 3/2
-3 =x
The x intercept is -3
