and the total distance she travels, y miles, in x hours is represented by the function y = 8x. Assuming that Emma and Becky travel at a constant rate of speed, which statement BEST compares their biking speeds?
A) Emma travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Becky.
B) Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.
C) Emma travels 7 miles per hour faster than Becky.

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

Answer:

(-1 ; 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

when they say find the ordered pair they simply mean find the corresponding y value when x = -1

* where you see x substitute-1 *

f(-1) = 3(-1) + 6

7900 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. How much will be in the account after 11 years, to th
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

\$12,679.50

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=11\ years\\ P=\$7,900\\r=5.5\%=5.5/100=0.055

substitute in the formula above

A=7,900(1+0.055*11)

A=7,900(1.605)

A=\$12,679.50

Write an equation to represent function A
maw [93]

Answer:

y = 312x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to y = mx + b, m stands for slope and b stands for y-intercept. Let us find the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, the x should be zero in (x, y).

(x, y)

(0, 2) ---> y-intercept (b)

Now that we have found the y-intercept, we will now find the slope by using its formula.

Slope formula:-

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Pick two random (x, y). I will pick the first and last pairs.

(0, 2) and (4, 1250)

Now plug these two pairs in the formula.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 1250 - 2 / 4 - 0

m = 1248 / 4

m = 312

This means that the slope (m) is 312. Now put that in y = mx + b form.

y = mx + b

y = 312x + 2

Both of the forms are the same. Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
