Brendon is walking home from a place that is 1.5 miles away. The function y = 7,920 − 270x represents Brendon’s distance in feet

from home, y, in relation to the number of minutes he walks, x. Bryan is also walking home. Every 15 minutes, he writes down the number of feet left to reach home, as shown in the table.
Minutes
Feet
0
8,000
15
3,800

Which statements about this situation are true?
Brendon walks faster.
Bryan walks faster.
Brendon and Bryan walk at the same speed.
Brendon was farther away from home when he started walking.
Bryan was farther away from home when he started walking.
Brendon and Bryan were an equal distance from home when they started walking.

Answer:

Bryan walks faster

Bryan was farther away from home when he started walking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Brendon's distance in feet from home 'y' in relation to the number of minutes walked 'x'

y = 7,920 − 270x

For bryan:

Minutes (x) - - - 0 - - - - - 15

Feet ( y) - - 8000 - - - 3800

General form of a linear equation :

y = mx + C

m = gradient / slope

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

m = (3800 - 8000) / (15 - 0)

m = -4200 / 15 = - 280

Intercept 'c' = 8000 (where line intersect the y axis), (since y = 8000, when x = 0)

Therefore,

Bryan's model:

y = 8000 - 280x

Comparing both functions :

Bryan has a greater speed ( from the gradient)

Bryan was farther away from home when he started walking ( intercept )

I don’t know how to explain on why the student was incorrect
Zolol [24]

Answer:

the constant proportionality means the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

so the constant proportionality will be 7.5÷6=1.25 or 10÷8=1.25 or 12.5÷10=1.25

constant proportionality should be same all through because it's a constant

3. What is the slope of the line passing through (15,-5) and (3, -8)?
Andrej [43]
M= -8 - -5/ 3 - 15= -8+5/3-15= -3/-12 = 3/12 = 1/4 


The slope is 1/4. 
The slope formula is m=y2-y1/x2-x1. I plugged in -8=y2, -5=y1, 3=x2, and 15=x1. Then I solved it.

Lauren in making 15 liters of mimosas for a brunch banquet. Orange juice costs her $1.50 per liter and champagne costs her $12 p
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

  • 10 liters of orange juice
  • 5 liters of champagne

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of liters of champagne Lauren uses. Then (15-c) will be the number of liters of orange juice. The total cost of the mix will be ...

  12c +1.50(15-c) = 5.00(15)

  10.5c = 52.50 . . . . . subtract 22.50, simplify

  52.50/10.5 = c = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

Then the amount of orange juice is ...

  15 -c = 15 -5 = 10 . . . . liters

Lauren should use 5 liters of champagne and 10 liters of orange juice.
