Answer:

The truck driver will be making $76.80 on his next route.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you calculate the amount of money he makes per mile by dividing $51.20 by 80 miles. Then you take that pay rate, and multiply by 120 miles.

Answer:

$76.80

Step-by-step explanation:

120/80 equals how many times the next route is larger than the first one. Which is 1.5 times larger.

Take the first earning of 51.20 and multiply by 1.5 to get 76.80

120/80=1.5

51.20*1.5=76.8

On the next route the truck driver earns $76.80.

natka813 [3]

Answer: (1.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The shape of his satellite can be modeled by $y^2=6x$ where x and y are modeled in inches.

Now,the given equation $y^2=6x$ is a equation of parabola.

Here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

On comparing this equation with standard equation $x^2=4mx$ , we get

$4m=6\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5$

In standard equation, coordinates of focus=(m,0)

Thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(1.5,0)

What's the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3x + 4y = 8?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2$
