The data table represents the distance between a well-known lighthouse and a cruise ship over time. The cruise ship is travellin

g at uniform speed. Which equation represents the distance (y) from the lighthouse, based on the number of hours (x)?
Number of Hours Distance from Lighthouse
(in oceanic miles)
2 53
4 95.5
6 138
8 180.5
10 223
12 265.5
14 308
16 350.5


y = 42.5x + 10.5
y = 10.5x + 32
y = 21.5x + 10.5
y = 12.25x + 28.5
y = 12.5x + 10.5

Find the velocity first, the "slope".

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)

m=21.25  ?  Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...

m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)

m=21.25  LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.

Anyway...

y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)

53=21.25(2)+b

53=42.5+b

10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:

y=21.25x+10.5

So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)

Answer:

Answer Counterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axis explanation the given figure has vertices p(1,2),q(2,1),r(3,2),s(3,3)recall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, (x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will become p1( - 1, - 2),q1( - 2, - 1),r1( - 3, - 2),s1( - 3, - 3)next, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain,p'(1, - 2),q'(2, - 1),r'(3, - 2),s'(3, - 3)

Please HELPPPPP!!! <br><br> I DONT KNOW WHY IM GETTING THEM WRONG
Nady [450]

Answer:

n = -33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number

Sum of a number and 9

(n+9)

is tripled

3(n+9)

the result is six less then twice the number

2n-6

3(n+9) = 2n-6

Distribute

3n+27 = 2n-6

Subtract 2n from each side

3n-2n +27 = -6

n +27 = -6

Subtract 27 from each side

n+27-27 = -6-27

n =-33
