Answer:

Both trains meet at 10 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Find the time Los Angeles bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 80 mph

Distance = 400

Time = T1

Train leaves at 9 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/80

Time = 5 hours

<em>Step 2: Find the time Sacramento bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 60 mph

Distance = 400 miles

Time = T2

Train leaves at 7 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/60

Time = 6.67 hours

<em>Step 3: Calculate the time when both trains will meet</em>

<u>Los Angeles bound train</u>

Leaves at 9 am

1 hour at 10 am

2 hours at 11 am

3 hours at 12 pm

4 hours at 1 pm

5 hours at 2 pm (reaches destination)

<u>Sacramento bound train</u>

Leaves at 7 am

1 hour at 8 am

2 hours at 9 am

3 hours at 10 am

4 hours at 11 am

5 hours at 12 pm

6 hours at 1 pm

7 hours at 2 pm

Both trains will meet at 10 am where the Los Angeles bound train reaches in 1 hour and the Sacramento bound train reaches in 3 hours.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

-4n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an expression

11 less than the product of a number and -4

(n * -4) - 11

<em>-4n - 11</em>

<em />

Answer:  -4n - 11

<u>If needed solve</u>

-4n - 11 + 11 = 0 + 11

-4n / -4 = 11 / -4

<em>n = -2.75</em>

Graph a line with a slope of 4 that contains the point (3,0). FOR 100 POINTS PLS
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Hi there!

Recall that slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope

In this instance, we are given a slope of 4,

therefore:

y = 4x + b

Substitute in the x and y coordinates of the point given:

0 = 4(3) + b

0 = 12 + b

Substract 12 from both side:

-12 = b

Therefore, the equation would be:

y = 4x - 12

Graph the equation by finding x and y values or using a calculator:

x = 0, y = 4(0) - 12 = 12 (0, 12)

x = 1, y = 4(1) - 12 = - 8 (1, -8)

x = 2, y = 4(2) - 12 = - 4 (2, -4)

x = 3, y = 4(3) - 12 = 0 (3, 0)

And so forth:
