This is a simultaneous system of two linear equations with two unknowns, as the number of unknowns equals the number of equations, we can solve it:
y = 5x + 21
y = -7x - 15
we can equate both equations, given the fact that both are equal to y:
y = y
5x + 21 = -7x - <span>15
</span>and solving for x:
5x + 7x = -15 - 21
12x = -36
x = -36/12
x = -3
then we substitute this result in the original equation:
y = 5x + <span>21
</span>y = 5(-3) + <span>21
</span>y = -15 + 21
y = 6
hence the solution is x = -3 and y = 6

What is the distance covered by a train while slowing down from

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The distance covered is 113.75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

The initial velocity of the train, v = 20 m/s

The final velocity of the train, v' = 6 m/s

Uniform deceleration, a = 1.6 $m/s^{2}$

Or uniform acceleration, a = - 1.6 $m/s^{2}$

<em>Here, the body decelerates, i.e., slows down at a uniform rate thus we take acceleration with negative sign.</em>

Now, to find the distance covered, s:

Using the eqn of Kinemetics:

$v'^{2} = v^{2} + 2as$

$6^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(- 1.6)s$

$36 - 400 = - 3.6s$

$s = \frac{- 364}{- 3.6} = 113.75\ m$

What is the rate of change of a linear function that includes the points (5,2) and (9,4)?

Olin [163]

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change = Change in output / Change in input

= ∆y / ∆x

= 4-2 / 9-5

= 2/4

= 1/2
