Consider, pls, this option:
1. if a required line has a form y=ax+b, then points A(-1;6); B(6;k) and C(20;3) belong to it.
2. According to the item 1 it is possible to make up the system of equations for A and C:
\left \{ {{-a+b=6} \atop {20a+b=3}} \right \  \left \{ {{a=- \frac{1}{7} } \atop {b= \frac{41}{7} }} \right.
Knowing, that a=-1/7 and b=41/7, it is possible to write the equation of required line:
y=- \frac{1}{7}x+ \frac{41}{7}
3. Using coordinates of point B:
k=- \frac{6}{7}+ \frac{41}{7} =5 \ where \ k=y

6, 12, 18 and 24 are the first four multiples of 6.<br><br> What are the next 2 multiples?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

30 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

six times two equals 12

6 * 3 = 18

and six times four equals 24.

to get the next two multiples, You need to multiply 6 by 5, and then 6

6 * 5 = 30 and 6 * 6 = 36

Two passenger train, A and B, 450 km apart, star to move toward each other at the same time and meet after 2hours.
likoan [24]

Let v be the speed of train A, and let's set the origin in the initial position of train A. The equations of motion are

\begin{cases}s_A(t) = vt\\s_B(t) = -\dfrac{8}{7}vt+450\end{cases}

where s_A,\ s_B are the positions of trains A and B respectively, and t is the time in hours.

The two trains meet if and only if s_A=s_B, and we know that this happens after two hours, i.e. at t=2

\begin{cases}s_A(2) = 2v\\s_B(2) = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450\end{cases}\implies 2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450

Solving this equation for v we have

2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450 \iff \dfrac{30}{7}v=450 \iff v=\dfrac{450\cdot 7}{30} = 105

So, train A is travelling at 105 km/h. This implies that train B travels at

105\cdot \dfrac{8}{7} = 15\cdot 8=120 \text{ km/h}

A circle cuts the x-axis at (4,0) and (14,0), and cuts the y-axis at (0,6) and (0,8). Find it's equation
gayaneshka [121]
It is not a circle but you can find the equation of the ellipse.
To do this we need to work out the major and minor radii and the centre
The centre is at (9, 7)
The major (y) radius is 1 and the minor (x) radius is 5
Therefore the equation is (x-9)/5 + (y-7)/1 = 1
