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 :)
Answer:
14 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
15x-10=200
add 10 to both sides
15x= 210
divide by 15
x=14 .
105/495
I think that is the answer
You could use the equation y=mx+b
Find the slope of the two coordinates. I would personally suggest using stack and subtract:
(0,2) 2-5 -3 3
(2,5) -------= ------= -----
0-2 -2 2
We have the slope but we need to find the y-intercept.
y=3
--x+b
2
Plug one of the coordinates in the constructed equation above:
2=3
-- (0)+b
2
2=0+b
-0=-0
------------
b=2
We found the slope and y-intercept. Now we have our complete equation. The equation is:
y=3
--x+2
2
Have a blessed day!
