Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (3,5), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=3 and y1=5.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,6), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=2 and y2=6.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=

6 - 5

2 - 3

or...

m=

1

-1

or...

m=-1

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=-1x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(3,5). When x of the line is 3, y of the line must be 5.

(2,6). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 6.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-1x+b. b is what we want, the -1 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (3,5) and (2,6).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(3,5). y=mx+b or 5=-1 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=5-(-1)(3). b=8.

(2,6). y=mx+b or 6=-1 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-1)(2). b=8.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(3,5) and (2,6)

is

y=-1x+8

How do I find the angle x if the supplement of the angle is 8 times the angle?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, pair of supplementary angles are x and 8x

since they are supplementary, their sum is equal to 180°

x+ 8x = 180°

9x= 180°

x= 180°/9

x= 20°

Oliver and Lenny started hiking a hill simultaneously from the bottom to the top. Oliver hiked at a speed of 5 km/h during the f
Vilka [71]

Answer:

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Oliver's speed = 5 km/h during the first half, then decreased his speed to 4 km/h during the second half.

Lenny's speed = 4 km/h during the first half, then increased his speed to 5 km/h in the second half.

2. Who reached the top of the hill first? What is the proportion of time he spent hiking to that of his friend?

Let's assume the distance from the bottom to the top of the hill is 10 kilometers for calculating the time it will take Oliver and Lenny to reach the top of the hill:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Oliver = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Lenny = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Oliver = 5/5 + 5/4

Oliver = 1 + 5/4 = 2 1/4 hours

Lenny = 5/4 + 5/5

Lenny = 5/4 + 1 = 2 1/4 hours

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>
