Speed=distance traveled/time of the travel=78/2=39 mph
1. The two equations follow the slope-intercept form which y=mx + b. They have the same y-intercept which is equal to 900.
2. Suppose x= 10
Plan Alpha: y=-7x+900=-7(10)+900=830
Plan Foxtrot: y = -17x+900 = -17(10)+900=730
Between the 2 plans, the lower value is 730. Plan Foxtrot is better for reduction of pollution.
3. The city council should choose Plan Foxtrot because the reduction of pollution is much greater. Their goal would be reached faster if they go with faster reduction of pollution.
A right angle is 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is larger than 90 degrees and an acute angle is less than 90 Degrees.
The angle shown is smaller than 90 degrees so it is c. Acute
The answer should be y=-1/7x
