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

What type of triangle is shown?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total angles of the triangle are 180 degrees:

(x) + (4x-10) + (2x+15) = 180

7x - 10 + 15 =180

7x + 5 = 180

7x = 180 - 5

7x = 175

x = 175÷ 5 = 25

Now we calculate each angle

x=25

4x-10= (4*25) -10=100-10=90

2x+15=(2*25)+15=50+15=65

Because we have a right angle, then the triangle is right triangle
