Answer:
y=1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the y intercept is 2 since that's where the line crosses and the x intercept is at 4
Answer:
y = - x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the line is perpendicular, the slope with be the opposite reciprocal. So, if the slope is 1 as in the equation y = x - 1, the opposite reciprocal is -1.
So the equation that is perpendicular will look like this so far:
y = -x + b (b represents our y-intercept that we have not found yet)
Now we will find the y-intercept. We can find it by substituting the coordinates (5,4) as x and y into the equation right above ^^.
So, 4 = -(5) +b or 4 = -5 + b
Add 5 to both sides to isolate b on the right side. b = 9
Therefore, the y-intercept is 9.
Now we have found everything we need for the equation, which is
y = - x + 9
Yes, it's y= 1/2x because it's 1/2 miles (y) per x weeks
Answer:
It will take them 5 hours to meet if they start moving towards eachother simultaneusly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance, s = 540 miles
Motocycle's speed, v = 48 mph
Time for motorcycle to cover 48 miles, t = 
=
= 11.25 h
For a car it takes 2.25 hours less than 11.25 for motorcycle:
Time for car than becomes: 11.25 - 2.25 = 9 h
Speed for car would be v(c) = 
=
= 60 mph
<em>For finding when they will meet, we will need relative speed: </em>
Since they are moving towards each other the relative speed is the sum of speed of car and the speed of motorcycle
Relative Speed = 48 + 60 = 108 mph
Distance = 540 miles
Time = 
= 
= 5 hours
