Answer:
y= (-6/5)x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b , where m is the slope, and b is the y -intercept
the y -intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis so b = -2
the slope m= y(rise) /x(run) = 6/-5 = -6/5 ( to find the slope you have to know how to get from any point on the line to another point on the same line; start at point (0,-2) go up 6(y-rise) and to the left 5(x-run) at point (-5,4))
y= (-6/5)x -2
Answer:
B & D
Step-by-step explanation:
We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.
There are two ways to look at it:
- For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 22% off is the sale, then we spend 78% or 100-22=78. If 20% off is the sale, then we pay 80% or 0.80. Multiply that by x an unknown price and we have 0.8x.
- We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 20% is 0.20. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is x-0.2x.
Answer - D.
you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...
Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,
First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2
replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others
Hope you get it!
Answer:
The expression that represents his total time is given by "t = 7.5/s" where s is his speed against the wind.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we will assign a variable to Curtis speed on the first leg of the trip, this will be called "s". Since the speed on the first part is "s" and the speed on the second part is 20% higher, then the speed on the second part is "1.2s". Each leg of the course is 9 miles long, therefore the time it took to go each way is given by:
time = distance/speed
First part:
t1 = 9/s
Second part:
t2 = 9/1.2s = 7.5/s
The expression for the whole course is the sum of each, so we have:
t = t1 + t2
t = 9/s + 7.5/s
t = (9 + 7.5)/s = (16.5)/s
