Rafael Drive 405 miles using 20 gallons of gas. At that rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 243 miles?

1 answer:

3 0

This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles

Why is the point (4, 3) there but not mentioned??
Anyways, the point that P (3, 0) is after rotating 180° about the origin is (-3, 0).
btw, for 180 rotations about O, just take negative value of (x, y)--> (-x, -y)
That way -(3), -(0) becomes (-3, 0)

Find slope for 2x+5y=8?

Nitella [24]

First thing, you need to transform this equation to the form of y = ax + b

So you get:
2x + 5y = 8
5y = -2x + 8
$y = -\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{8}{5}$

In the form of y = ax + b, a is the slope.
In $y = -\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{8}{5}$ , you can see " $- \frac{2}{5} x$ ", and always the number before x is the slope
So, the slope of 2x + 5y = 8 is $- \frac{2}{5}$

Hope this Helps :)
