Answer:

Y=-.5x-34

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you can do y2-y1/x2-x1 to get slope


-34/68


Which equals one half so currently


Y=-1/2x


To get the y intercept we can look at the number when x=0 so it would be -34. So here is the equation


Y=-.5x-34

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 34

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

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

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 68, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 34 )

m = \frac{-34-0}{0+68} = \frac{-34}{68} = - \frac{1}{2}

the y-intercept = (0, - 34 ) ⇒ c = - 34

y= - \frac{1}{2} x - 34

Michael Chan leaves a dock in his motorboat and travels at an average speed of 9 mph toward the Isle of Shoals, a small island o
horsena [70]

Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is the movement of an object regardless of direction. The distance can be defined as the amount of length an object has covered, regardless of its starting or ending position

We know that r × t = d

r = rate of speed

t = time

d = distance

For the motor boat

9 × t = d = rate × time

For the tour boat

27 × (t - 2) = d = rate × time

When they both cover the same distance in the same amount of time, they will eventually cross paths.

They both cover the same d-mile distance, so:

9 ×t = 27 × (t - 2)

Simplify to get:

9 × t = 27 × t - 54

18 t = 54

t = 3

The motor boat will have traveled at 9 mph for 3 hours to make a distance of 9 × 3 = 27 miles.

The tour boat will have traveled at 27 mph for 1 hour to make a distance of 1 × 27 = 27 miles.

Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

Using the results from parts D through G, write an expression that represents the number of years elapsed between the disappeara
nlexa [21]

The mathematical expression to represent the number of years elapsed since the disappearance of Helike until the end of the American Civil War is:

  • T (years from Helike's disappearance to the end of the Civil War) = w + 373

To reach this conclusion we had to search for additional information and found that the year of the disappearance of the Greek city of Helike is -⅕ times the year the American Civil War ended.

  • Helike's disappearance year = (-w / 5)

According to the previous expression, the year of Helike's disappearance is:

  • Helike's disappearance year = (-1865/5) = -373

According to the previous data, it can be inferred that the expression that represents the number of years elapsed between the disappearance of the Greek city of Helike and the end of the US Civil War is:

  • T = w + 373
  • T = 1865 + 373
  • T = 2238

Note: This question is incomplete because the is some information missing. However, I can answer it based on my prior knowledge.
