we know that

speed=distance/time

It takes 40 min for a bus to cover 36 miles

then

speed of the bus=distance/time--------> 36/40-------> 0.9 miles/min

speed of the car=1.4*speed of the bus-----> 1.4*0.9----> 1.26 miles/min

For time=t

bus

t=distance/speed--------> t=x/0.9------> equation 1

car

t=distance/speed--------> t=(36-x)/1.26-----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x/0.9=(36-x)/1.26-----> 1.26x=0.9*(36-x)-----> 1.26x=32.4-0.9x

1.26x+0.9x=32.4------> x=32.4/2.16-------> x=15 miles

equation 1

t=x/0.9------> 15/0.9------> t=16.67 min

the answer is

they will meet at the time 16.67 minutes

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).
Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. <em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformations applied on a <em>geometric</em> locus such that <em>Euclidean</em> distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of <em>rigid</em> transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

Write and equation parrallel to y=-5/2x+9 that passes through the <br> point (-6,7).
Black_prince [1.1K]
To be parallel, gradients are the same!
so the gradient is -5/2.
y=-5/2x +c
substitute the points youve been givrn into this to find c!
7=-5/2 (-6) +c
7=15 +c
c must equal -7
y=-5/2x -7
