(56+v)*4=280 (mph)
224+4v=280
4v=280-224
4v=56
v=56:4
v=14 (mph)

What is the equation of a line with a x-intercept of −2 and a y-intercept of 10?
IceJOKER [234]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we can derive the points (-2, 0) and (0, 10). Find the slope using the slope formula:

m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Plug in the points:

m= \frac{10 - 0}{0 - (-2)}

Simplify:

m= \frac{10}{2}

m = 5.

The equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. We were already given the b value, or y-intercept as y = 10. Therefore:

y = 5x + 10 is the equation written in slope-intercept form.

Tangerine is simply color orange, which is an addition of red and yellow colors. To analyze if the portions written below are reasonable, the given sum must equal to the sum of the individual red and yellow parts.

Total Red + Total Yellow = 5(3/10)
3(9/10) + 2(3/8) ? 5(3/10
3.45 ? 1.5
3.45 ≠ 1.5

<em>Since they are not equal, then it means the portions are unreasonable.</em>
