Well, A linear relationship has to be a straight line and a proportional relationship has to go through the origin! Hope that's a good hint!
If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
Answer:
18.87 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.
Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.
Time for which they move = 2.5 hours
To find:
The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.
Solution:
Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.
Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.



We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.
AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled
.
According to Pythagorean theorem:

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

Answer:
x-int = 18
y-int = -9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope-intercept form y=mx + b
To find the slope, substitute the two points into the slope formula and solve.

Substitute a random point (2,-4) and m=1/4 into slope-intercept form
y = mx+b
-4 = 1/4 (2) + b
-4 = 2/4 + b
-4 = 1/2 + b
Isolate b to solve
b = -4 - 1/2
b = -8/2 - 1/2
b = -9/2 <= this is the y-intercept
b is the y-intercept in slope-intercept form
Substitute b= -9/2 and m=1/4 to get the equation of the line.
y = 1/4 x - 9/2
Substitute y for 0 to find the x intercept
y = 1/4 x - 9/2
0 = 1/4 x - 9/2
9/2 = 1/4 x
x = (9/2) / (1/4)
x = (9/2) X (4/1)
x = 36/2
x = 18
It’s 6,000 feet because if you walk around one time which is 1200 and you multiple it 5 times, you get 6,000
