On a television game show, contestants earn 5 points for each correct answer, but lose 2 points for each wrong answer. On last w

eek's show, the winning contestant earned 80 points and answered 30 questions. Given that x represents the number of questions answered correctly, and y represents the number of questions answered incorrectly, determine which system of equations correctly represents this situation.

Answer:

5x-2y =80

x+y=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, 5x is the points earned by correct questions (5 points per right answer) and -2x is the points lost by wrong answers (2 points taken away for every wrong answer). The total points the contestant earned is 80, which is why we set this equation equal to 80. Hence, 5x-2y=80.

They also tell us that the contestant answered a total of 30 questions, so x and y combined would be the total number of questions. Hence, x+y=30.

5. A yacht is cruising at 20 knots at bearing of 185° when a 15 knot wind starts to blow at a bearing of 290°. Find the directio
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

<em>Direction of the boat is 43.05° and the speed is 21.66 knot</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

yacht speed = 20 knots

yacht bearing = 185° = 85°  below the negative horizontal x-axis

wind speed = 15 knots

wind bearing = 290° = 20° above the negative horizontal x-axis

we find the x and y components of the boat velocities

for yacht,

x component = -20 cos 85° = -1.74 knots

y component = -20 sin 85° = -19.92 knots

for the wind,

x component = -15 cos 20° = -14.09 knots

y component = 15 sin 20° = 5.13 knots

total x component  Vx = -1.74 + (-14.09) = -15.83 knots

total y component Vy =  -19.92 + 5.13 = -14.79 knots

Resultant speed of the boat = \sqrt{Vx^{2} + Vy^{2}  }

==> \sqrt{15.83^{2} + 14.79^{2}  } = <em>21.66 knot</em>

<em></em>

direction of boat = tan^{-1} \frac{Vy}{Vx}

==> tan^{-1} \frac{14.79}{15.83} = <em>43.05°</em>

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 3/4 and passes through the point (2,1)?
ValentinkaMS [17]
The general equation of a line is:
\frac{y- y_{1}}{x- x_{1}} =m
When m is the gradient and x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the points on the line
Therefore:
\frac{y-1}{x-2}=3/4
4y-4=3x-6
4y=3x-2

The equation of a line is y= -1/2x - 2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes thro
Fed [463]
If two line are perpendicular. The multiply of their slopes are equal to -1. 
First line's slope is: -1/2x because if the line equation is form of y=ax+b a is slope. 
Let say second line's slope is m
m.-1/2=-1  so m=2 
y=ax+b is general form of linear function/equation. (a=slope)
y=2x+b 
If this line passes through the point (2,-2),if we write -2 to y and 2 to x, the equation becomes true. 
-2=4+b
b=-6 
Thus, 
y=2x-6 is true answer.
