Ever since an automobile started to have a mechanical problem, every time it has burned a gallon of gasoline, it has traveled on

ly half as far as it did for the last gallon of gasoline it burned. If it traveled 40 miles for the first gallon of gasoline, it burned since the problem started, and if it has burned a total of 5 gallons of gasoline since the problem started, how many miles per gallon has the automobile averaged since the problem started?
A)
15 miles per gallon


B)
15.5 miles per gallon


C)

B. The amount of distance it traveled for 5 gallons is 77.5 mi as 40+20+10+5+2.5 so divide that by 5 and you get 15.5

Answer:

  P(0, 4), Q(-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-coordinate of P, replace x with 0 and solve for y:

  3y = 12

  y = 4 . . . . . divide by 3

__

To find the x-coordinate of Q, replace y with 0 and solve for x:

  -4x = 12

  x = -3 . . . . . divide by -4

Then the intercepts are P(0, 4) and Q(-3, 0). The line is drawn through those points for the indicated values of x.

what is the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described by (-4,-5), parallel to y=-2x -5
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

y = - 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (- 4, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = 8 + c ⇒ c = - 5 - 8 = - 13

y = - 2x - 13 ← equation of line
