Write as a function equation: where f(x) is the same as "y"
f(x) = 5 + 1x ------ y = 1x + 5
Use: y = mx + b (Where m = slope and b is y intercept)
Slope is 1 and y intercept is +5
Remember slope is rise over run so 1 can be written as 1 / 1 and interpreted as rise 1 and run 1 both in the positive direction.
Answer:
Barbara's speed in clear weather is 
and in the thunderstorm is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
be the speed and 
be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let 
be the speed and 
be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.
Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,
(1). 
Also,
(2). 
(3). 
,
and
(4). 
From equations (2) and (3) we get:
putting these in equation (4) we get:
and substituting for from equation (1) we get:
This equation can be rewritten as
which has solutions
We take the first solution 
because it gives a positive value for 
.
Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is and in the thunderstorm is .
Answer:
1. 23/20 miles, 2. 7/20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Total distance = 3/4 + 2/5
= (3*5)/(4*5) + (2*4)/(5*4)
= 15/20 + 8/20
= 23/20
= 1 3/20 miles
2. Difference between walked miles and jogged miles = 3/4 - 2/5
= 15/20 - 8/20
= 7/20 miles
Answer:
0.2 pounds of rice
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much rice was used by each person, divide 22 by 110
22/110
= 0.2
So, each person used 0.2 pounds of rice
