Answer:
<u>The equations for each function:</u>
- A(t) = 60 - 6t
- B(t) = 42 - 3t
<em>The lines plotted, see attached</em>
<u>The point at which both the snowmen have same height:</u>
- 60 - 6t = 42 - 3t
- 6t - 3t = 60 - 42
- 3t = 18
- t = 6
<u>The required interval is </u>
Answer:
163 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a ratio based on 49 miles in 1 hour (60 minutes):
let 'd' = distance in 3hrs, 20 min
3hrs, 20 min = 200 minutes
49/60 = d/200
cross-multiply:
60d = 9800
d = 163.3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We want a line of best fit, which means we want to create a line that the data points will lie closest to.
One thing we can do is find the slope between the bottom-leftmost point and the top-rightmost point. This is because if we were to draw a line connecting these two, it will cut through the data quite well.
Those two points are (9, 15) and (16, 18), so the slope is change in y divided by the change in x:
(18 - 15) ÷ (16 - 9) = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4
Eliminate A and B.
Now we need to determine the y-intercept. This needs no calculations; simply look at the graph: there's no way a line cutting through the y-intercept point of (0, 18) will perfectly match the data points; instead it must be a y-intercept lower than 18. So, eliminate D.
The answer is C.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value).... by inspection b = -4
m is the slope of the line, Slope = m = 1/4 note: the slope is positive
the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'
if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative
the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'
the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'
the rise = 1 Y unit
the run = 4 X units
y = mx + b m =1/4 b = -4
y = (1/4)x + (-4)
y = (1/4)x - 4
graph a line stating at y = -4 and going up (rising) to the right ONE Y Unit for every FOUR X units (the run)
