Answer:
slope: 5/7
0.714 mile per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
slope: find the point where the line is right on the line graph, put y/x which is 10/14 make the fraction smaller which is 10/14 = 5/7(I divide the denominator and nominator by 2)
Mile per hour: 5/7 cross multiply with x/1, make into an equation:
7x=5 x 1
7x = 5
x = 0.714
Answer:
m=
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a line is the co efficient of x in the given line.
<span>ABCD is a parallelogram.
Looking at the quadrilateral ABCD, the first thing to do is to determine if the opposite sides are parallel to each other. So let's check that by looking at the opposite sides.
Line segment BA. When you go from point B to point A, you move to the right 1 space, and down 4 spaces. So the slope is -4. Looking at line segment CD, you also move to the right 1 space and down 4 spaces, which also means a slope of -4. So those two sides are parallel. When you compare line segments BC and AD, you'll notice that for both of them, you go to the right 5 spaces and up 2 spaces, so those too are parallel. So we can now saw that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we now need to check if it's a rectangle (we know it can't be a square since the sides aren't all the same length). An easy way to test if it's a rectangle is to check of one of the angles is 90 degrees. And if we draw a line from B to D, we can create a triangle ABD. And in a right triangle, due to Pythagora's theorem we know that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A is the line segment AB, B is the line segment AD and C is the line segment BD. So let's calculate A^2, B^2, and C^2.
A^2: Line segment AB. We can construct a right triangle with A = 1 and B = 4. So C^2 = 1^2 + 4^2 = 1 + 16 = 17. So we have an A^2 value of 17
B^2: Line segment AD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 5. So C^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29. So we have an B^2 value of 29
C^2: Line segment BD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 6. So C^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40. So we have a C^2 value of 40.
Now let's check if the equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is correct:
17 + 29 = 40
46 = 40
And since 46 isn't equal to 40, that means that ABCD can not be a rectangle. So it's just a parallelogram.</span>
Answer:
<em>The value 60 represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Function</u>
The linear relationship between two variables d and t can be written in the form
Where m is the slope (or rate of change of d with respect to t) and b is the y-intercept or the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis
The function provided in our problem is
Where d is the distance in miles the counselor still needs to drive after t hours. Rearranging the expression:
Comparing with the general form of the line we can say m=-60, b=130. The value of -60 is the slope or the rate of change of d with respect to t. Since we are dealing with d as a function of time, that value represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving. It's negative because the distance left to drive decreases as the time increases
