The function that describes the distance from the finish line after x minutes is: y = 2/3x + 4

Given : A student is running a 10-kilometer race. He runs 1 kilometer every 4 minutes.

To find : Select the function that describes his distance from the finish line after x minutes = ?

Let the equation of line describing function is y = mx+c ....1

Where, y represents the distance in kilometer and x represents the time in minutes.

A student is running a 10-kilometer race,

⇒ y(0) = b = 10 km

It is also given that he runs 1 kilometer every 4 minutes.

Each passing minute the student is getting closer and closer to the finish line which was 10 kilometers away when the race started.

The distance between the student and the finish line will decrease.

m = 10/4 - 1

m = 2/3

substitute in 1.

y =  2/3x + 4

Therefore, the function that describes his distance from the finish line is

y =  2/3x + 4

20. The H.M. between 2 and 8 is<br>(1 marks )​
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer as an improper fraction = 16/5

Answer as a mixed number = 3 & 1/5

Answer in decimal form = 3.2

All of those values represent the same thing, but written in a different way.

=============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming HM stands for Harmonic Mean in this case.

If so, then we apply the reciprocal operation to each value to get 1/2 and 1/8 (from 2 and 8 respectively).

Add up those fractions:

1/2 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8

Now we'll divide n = 2 over that result. The n = 2 refers to the number of items in the original set.

n divide over (5/8) = 2*(8/5) = 16/5 which is the answer as an improper fraction

-----------

To convert to a mixed number, we can do the following:

16/5 = (15+1)/5

16/5 = 15/5 + 1/5

16/5 = 3 + 1/5

16/5 = 3 & 1/5

Or if you need the answer in decimal form, then using a calculator would get you 16/5 = 3.2

How do you write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1,1)
harkovskaia [24]
First you have to put it into point-slope form before you can write it in slope-intercept form which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

Y-1=2(x-1)
Distribute the 2 to the x and -1
Y-1=2x-2
Move it all to one side
Y=2x-1
