Answer:
The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)
m = 6/-3
m = -2
Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -2(x - 0)
y - 5 = -2x
y = -2x + 5
Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.
y = -2x + 5
15 = -2(a) + 5
10 = -2a
-5 = a
And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)
y = -2x + 5
b = -2(2) + 5
b = -4 + 5
b = 1
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
distance driven < 300 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plan A
She needs the car for 3 days.
1 day costs 60 dollars
3 days cost 60*3 = 180 So this is the maximum amount that she can spend
Plan B
She still needs the car for 3 days
1 day costs 20 dollars of the car does not move
3 days costs 3*20 = 60 dollars.
60 + 0.4m < 180 Subtract 60
0.4m < 180 - 60
0.4m < 120 Divide by 0.4
m < 120/ 0.4
m < 300
Answer
so she should drive less than 300 miles.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
5*6=30
1/2*30=15
