Answer:

Option A. 0 solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations graphed has two equations.

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+5$

and $y=-\frac{3}{2}-3$

Here equation 1 and 2 both have the same slope = -3/2

Therefore these lines are parallel.

Since parallel lines never meet at a point so the solutions of this systems of the equations will be zero.

Option A. 0 is the correct option.

A candle has been burning for 20 min and is now 25 cm tall. In an hour it will be 10 cm tall. Which equation models the height y

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of candle after burning for 20 minutes = 25 cm

Height after burning for 1 hr (60 minutes) = 10 cm

Height (y) in cm of candle x minutes after being lit:

Using the equation :

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

m = (change in y / change in x)

Change in height within 60 minutes :

Height at 20 minutes = 25cm

Height after an hour = 10

Change in height per hour = (25 - 10) = 15cm

Hence, m = change in height per minute

15cm / 60 = 0.25cm ( - 0.25) (decrease in height)

y1 = 25 ; x1 = 20

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

A football field is 300 feet long. A sloth moving very quickly travels 60 feet every 5 minutes. Based on this ratio, how many mi

nalin [4]

25 minutes.

Explanation: if the field is 300 feet and the sloth travels 60 feet every 5 minutes, you would divide 300 feet by 60 feet to determine the distance the sloth can travel. That gives you 5, then you would multiple 5 by 5 minutes.

side note: there’s probably a simpler way to explain this
