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

In the triangle above, the measure of A is 66°, and the measure of B is 68°. What is the measure of C?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Angle, A = 66°

Angle B = 68°

The sum of angles in a triangle is given by :

A + B + C = 180° (sum if angles una triangle)

66° + 68° + C = 180°

134° + C = 180°

C = 180° - 134°

C = 46°

Hence, angle C is 46°

HELP PLEASE and help me understand
const2013 [10]

When subtracting a number from a negative (like question one) the subtraction sign will now be an addition sign.

1.

6-(-7)=13

For question 2, its simple subtraction. If you subtract a negative from positive, it'l be a negative.

2.

-3 - 3= -6

3.

-15 - 23 = -38

Now we combine my previous explanations. Subtracting a negative from a negative will be like adding (like in question 4)

4.

-9 - (-5)= -4

5.

5 - (-15)=20

6.

78-(-17)=95


Extra Info:

When adding a number (doesnt matter if positive or negative) to a negative it will turn into subtraction.

Examples:

6+(-9)=-3

-9+(-9)= -18
