We can find the slope of this line by using the slope formula:

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

We'll use the points (-6, 0) and (0, -3)

(-3 - 0) / (0 + 6) = -3/6 = -0.5

The slope of the line is A, -1/2

Which is a characteristic of the line that passes through the points (6, 10) and (12, 7)?

Ludmilka [50]

The line has a negative slope. To find this I put rise over run to get -2. The linear equation of the line is y= -2x+13.

Roberto, Christopher, and Levi are amateur cyclist riding in the 165.1 km long Tour of Cortez bicycle race. Each cyclist is indi

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Levi
Christopher
Roberto

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to work problems involving repetitive calculations using a spreadsheet. The sort function can easily put the results in the appropriate order.

Here, we need to compute minutes and kilometers remaining for each cyclist, and then divide the former by the latter to find the required timing.

Minutes remaining will be the difference between the qualifying time and the time used so far.

Km remaining will be the difference between the race length and the distance traveled so far.

Required minutes per km will be the ratio of minutes remaining to km remaining.

Levi has the least allowed minutes per km for his remaining distance. Roberto has the most.

_____

Christopher only has to increase his average speed by about 5% in order to qualify; Levi has the greatest challenge, as he needs about 18% more speed for the rest of the race.

The area of the rectangle is the product of its base and height

The height of the rectangle is 4x - 2 units

<h3>How to determine the height?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Area = 4x^2 - 2x

Base = x

The area of the rectangle is:

Area = Base * Height

This gives

4x^2 - 2x = x * Height

Divide through by x

4x - 2 = Height

Rewrite as:

Height = 4x - 2

Hence, the height of the rectangle is 4x - 2 units
