Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the total amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tahk. Wh

en graphed, the function gives a linewith a slope of 6.0. See the figure below.With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank,the airplane has a weight of 2206 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 17 gallons of fuel in its tank?

Answer:

2002 pounds

Explanation:

To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.

This equation can be founded using the following

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

y-2206=6(x-51)

Now, we can solve for y

\begin{gathered} y-2206=6(x)-6(51) \\ y-2206=6x-306 \\ y=6x-306+2206 \\ y=6x+1900 \end{gathered}

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above

y = 6x + 1900

y = 6(17) + 1900

y = 102 + 1900

y = 2002

Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds

nignag [31]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of triangle ABC are (-1, -1), (-1, -5) and (0.5, -5).

We need to find the coordinates of triangle when it is translated two units left.

So, the rule of translation is

(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)

Using this rule, we get

A(-1,-1)\rightarrow A'(-1-2,-1)=A'(-3,-1)

B(-1,-5)\rightarrow B'(-1-2,-5)=B'(-3,-5)

C(0.5,-5)\rightarrow C'(0.5-2,-5)=C'(-1.5,-5)

The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-3,-1), B'(-3,-5) and C'(-1.5,-5).

Therefore, the correct option is B.
