<em>Note: Since you missed to add the image, so after a little research, I was able to find the image related to this question, which hopefully serves the purpose to clear your concept. The image is attached below.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Part 1) What is the slope for section "d" of Mrs. Washington's commute</u></em>

Calculating the slope for section "d" of Mrs. Washington's commute:

Slope of the section d  =\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

\frac{6 - 0}{32 - 20}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5

<em><u>Part 2) What does it mean that the slope is negative in context of the problem?</u></em>

The slope is being negative as it is moving downward from the left. In negative slop, the value of x increase, while the vale of y decreases. In positive slop, the value of both x and y increases.

<em><u>Part 3) Why are the slopes different over different intervals?</u></em>

Slopes are different at different intervals as the distance covered in time taken for each part of the given journey are different, also the speed is not the same for each interval.

As the speed can be calculated as

Speed\:=\:\frac{distance}{time}\:

Distance = y_{2} -y_{1} = 20 - 15 = 5

Time = x_{2} -x_{1}= 8 - 0 = 8

Speed = \frac{5}{8}=0.625

Therefore, the speed in the part 1 is 0.625 ms^{-1}

<em><u>Part 4) How long does it take Mrs. Washington to get home? How did you know this?</u></em>

It is clear from the graph that does take 32 minutes to her to get home.  

We can observe it from the graph that it represents the total time taken across the entire journey.

Solve using elimination.<br> 5x + 7y = -6<br> 4x + 7y = -9
Ede4ka [16]
Answer:

Simplifying
5x + 7y = -6

Solving
5x + 7y = -6

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 7y + -7y = -6 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
5x + 0 = -6 + -7y
5x = -6 + -7y

Divide each side by '5'.
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
4x + 7y = -9

Solving
4x + 7y = -9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 7y + -7y = -9 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
4x + 0 = -9 + -7y
4x = -9 + -7y

Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.25 + -1.75y

Simplifying
x = -2.25 + -1.75y

What is the y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 6)(x – 2)? (0,–6) (0,12) (–8,0) (2,0) Mark this and return Save an
juin [17]

the y intercept is the constant term on the x side

-6 * -2 which is 12

we can foil this out to see that

(x-6) (x-2)

x^2 -6x -2x+12

x^2 -8x+12

so the y intercept is (0,12)

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

x - 27 = 62 → ( add 27 to both sides )

x - 27 + 27 = 62 + 27

x = 89

drag first box then box with x = 89
