STAN walk 10 km to the grocery store.

He stops then walks 10 km east back to his house.

Let us draw this situation to better understand the problem.

As you can see, Stan first walked to the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km then he came back to the house from the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km.

So the total distance is 10 + 10 = 20 km

On the other hand, notice that Stan is exactly at the point where he first started that is his house, therefore, the displacement is 0 in this case.

Recall that the displacement is a vector quantity so the direction of travel also matters.

From house to grocery store = 10 km

From the grocery store to house = -10 km

Overall displacement = 10 km - 10 km = 0 km

Therefore,

Distance = 20 km

Displacement = 0 km

a line passes through (9, –9) and (10, –5).write an equation for the line in point-slope form. rewrite the equation in standard

Cerrena [4.2K]

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given by:
$y-yo = m (x-xo)
$
Where,
(xo, yo): point that belongs to the line
m: slope of the line
The slope is given by:
$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
Substituting values:
$m = \frac{-5-(-9)}{10-9}$
Rewriting:
$m = \frac{-5+9}{10-9}$
$m = \frac{4}{1}$
$m=4$
Now we choose an ordered pair:
$(xo, yo) = (10, -5)
$
Substituting values we have:
$y-(-5)=4(x-10)$
$y+5=4(x-10)$
We now rewrite the equation in its standard form:
$y = mx + b
$
Where,
b: cut with the y axis.
We have then:
$y = 4x - 40 - 5

y = 4x - 45$
Answer:
point-slope form:
$y+5=4(x-10)$
or
$y+9=4(x-9)$
standard form
$y = 4x- 45$

Use a spinner to find the theoretical probability of spinning an even number. What is the theoretical probability of spinning an

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are half even and half odd numbers on a spinner so it is 1/2 of 8 which is 4. Then you put the 4 over 8 to gain your probability.
