Answer:
slope=9
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is 9, because you do the y/x or rise over run, so you do for every 9 up 1 right to get a slope of 9/1 or 9
Answer:
2.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply each payout by its probability, then add those products.
See the attached image.
The first column has the payouts. The second column has the probabilities. The third column has the results of multiplying a payout by its probability.
The sum of the entries in the third column is 2.65
Sum = <span>ax + by + c + 2ax - 3by + c + by - c
Adding and cancelling the like terms
Sum = 3 </span><span>ax - by + c
</span><span>a. 3ax - by + c</span>
Since the buses travel in opposite directions, the speed at which they distance themselves is the sum of their speeds.
One bus travels at speed s.
The other bus travels at speed s + 15.
The sum of the speeds is s + s + 15 = 2s + 15
speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time
366 = (2s + 15) * 2
183 = 2s + 15
168 = 2s
s = 84
The slower bus travels at 84 km/h.
s + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99
The faster bus travels at 99 km/h.
Check:
In 2 hours, the slower bus travels 2 * 84 km = 168 km
In 2 hours, the faster bus travels 2 * 99 km = 198 km
In 2 hours, the buses are 198 km + 168 km = 366 km apart.
Our answer is correct.
