Answer:

Option B. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8x is the function that represents the distance y miles traveled in x hours by Emma.

From the given function

Speed of Emma = \frac{y}{x}=8 miles per hour

Relation between distance covered (y) by Becky in (x) hours has been given in the table attached.

Then speed of Becky = Rate of change in distance traveled by Becky

Speed of Becky = \frac{(15-7.5)}{(2-1)}

                           = 7.5 miles per hour

Difference in the speed of Becky and Emma = 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles per hour

That represents that Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.

Option B). is the answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.

Emma's speed is 7.5 miles per hour. The slope of y = 8x, which is 8, is Becky's speed.

8 − 7.5 = 0.5 miles per hour faster

The length of the segment from a point c _____ to the line AB gives the distance from point c to the line ab brainly
guapka [62]

Answer:

A. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

When lines and/or points are in perpendicular to one another, the perpendicularity line between them measures the distance between both points and/or lines.

So to measure the distance between point c and line AB, a perpendicular line has to be drawn from c to AB or from AB to c. Either of these will arrive at the same result.

It should also be noted that the angle at the point of intersection of perpendicular lines is 90°.

To solve a one-step equation, you must _____<br> the variable.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Isolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a one-step equation, you must isolate the variable.

For example,

3x = 9.

You must isolate x, which just means you have to get x by itself.

Divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself.

x = 3.

The answer to this question is isolate.
