Answer:

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope A

We need to find the "slope"

15/24 = 5/8  


Slope B

12/16 = 3/4


To compare, we need a common denominator

5/8    3/4*2/2

5/8     6/8

    <

Slope B is steeper because the slope  is greater

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper

Which system of equation is represented​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us figure out what is graphed and then manipulate each answer to try to match it.

The one with a positive slope is

y\leq x-2

The one with the negative slope is

y\geq 3-2x

Now that we have our graphed system of inequalities, we can try to match them to an answer.

A. while the x-2 is the same, the other does not have an x, so it cannot match.

B. The second inequality has the wrong sign, so it is impossible for this to be our answer.

C. When each of these are solved for y, you get y\leq 2x-3\\\\y\leq 2-x. Neither of these match so this cannot be correct.

D. When the first inequality is solved you get y\geq 3-2x

When the second inequality is solved you get y\leq x-2

As both of these answers match our graphed inequalities, D is the correct answer.

PLS HELP ,,,

The function, g(x), has a constant rate of change and will increase at a faster rate than the function f(x) for all the values of x.  

Given:

g(x) = 5/2 x -3 ..... (1)

f(x) = - 3.5 at x = 0

So, putting the value of x=0 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

g(x) at x = 0

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (0) - 3

=> g(x) = -3

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to -3.5.

Similarly, put x = 1 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (1) - 3

=> g(x) = (5-6)/2

=> g(x) = -1/2

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to -1.

Similarly, put x = 2 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (2) - 3

=> g(x) = (5-3)

=> g(x) = 2

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to 1.5.

Similarly, put x = 3 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (3) - 3

=> g(x) = (15/2 - 3)

=> g(x) = 7.5 - 3

=> g(x) = 4.5

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to 4.

Therefore, for all values of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x).

function f(x).
