A) x + y = 17
B) x - y = 27
Adding both equations:2x = 44
x = 22
y = -5
Speed=distance/time
suppose the distance of the first day is d, and the time is t
distance of the second day: d+0.17d=1.17d
time of the second day: t+0.2t=1.2t
speed of the second day: 1.17d/1.2t=0.975(d/t)=(1-0.025)(d/t)
so the speed of the second day is 2.5% slower than the first day.
In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
No, You only reverse the inequality symbol when you divide by a negative number.
