I hope this helps you




distance=speed×time



first cars time t




second cars time t+3



same distance


distance=55.t


distance=40. (t+3)



55t=40 (t+3)



55t-40t=120


15t=120


t=8


t+3=11

A circle is represented by the equation below:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The center is (9,-8) and the diameter is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − 9)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 16

A circle is in the form

(x − h)^2 + (y -k)^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x − 9)^2 + (y -  -8)^2 = 4^2  

The center is (9,-8) and the radius is 4

The diameter is 2 times the radius so the diameter is 8

The center is (9,-8) and the diameter is 8

What is the image point of (2,7) after the transformation r y=-x R270?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:|-2 - (-1)| =

|-2 + 1| =

| -1 | =

1.

 

So, we're one unit away from y = -1.  If we're one unit ABOVE y=-1, we need to move the point to be one unit BELOW it instead.  And if we're one unit BELOW y = -1, we need to move the point to be one unit ABOVE it.  

 

Since the point has a y-coordinate of -2, its BELOW the line y = -1, by 1 unit.  Now we change the y-coordinate so its instead ABOVE y = -1, by 1 unit:

 

(y-coordinate of reflection line) + (number of units above that line) =

-1 + 1 =

0.

 

Our new y-coordinate is 0, so the point is now at

(7, 0).

 

A more mechanical, but less intuitive approach is as follows:  

Let L = the y-coordinate of the line, and

P = the y-coordinate of the point.

The new y-coordinate is 2L - P.

In this case, L = -1, and P = -2.  So we have

2L - P =

2(-1) - (-2) =

-2 -(-2) =

0.

What is the y intercept if the slope=2/3
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

y intercept is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2/3x+b

if x=0 y=0           (0,0)

if x=3, y=2          (3,2)

y=2/3x+b

2=2+b

b=0
