Answer:
y = 2/5x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute on both sides
2x - 8 = 6x + 12
Move x to one side
-20 = 4x
Divide by 4
-5 = x
So, first turn your fractions into decimals. ⅞ = 0.875 which rounded is 0.88. 4/5 = 0.8. Next, put the decimals into the equation to replace the fractions. 0.88 + 4.2 - 0.8. Next solve the problem. So 0.88 + 4.2 = 5.08. Now your equation should look like this 5.08 - 0.8. Then subtract 0.8 from 5.08 which gives you 4.28. So 4.28 is your answer.
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
The minutes will be ur x axis and the cm of snow will be ur y axis
(10,2),(30,3.6).....using 2 points and the slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3.6 - 2) / (30 - 10) = 1.6 / 20 = 0.08 cm per minute <===
