Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am 
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km

The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours

17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km

The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km

The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km

The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric sequence if the first term is 9 and the common ratio is -3.
ivann1987 [24]

hmmmm let's see  \bf \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}=S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)
\\\\

\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}
\end{cases}\qquad thus\implies S_8=9\left( \cfrac{1-(-3)^8}{1-(-3)} \right)

What is the y intercept of 5x-2y=10
Rudik [331]
So the y-intercept is when the line crossed the y-axis or when x=0
(just because I like doing this in slope-intercept form)
we'll convert to slope-intercept form
y=mx+b m=slope and b=y-intercept

5x-2y=10
add 2y to both sides
5x=2y+20
subtract 20 from both sides
5x-20=2y
2y=5x-20
divide both sides by 2
y=5/2x-10
y-intercept is -10

or make x=0
y=5/2(0)-10
y=-10

Y-INTERCEPT=-10
