Answer:

Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

Explanation:

 Distance traveled = Speed x Time

 Speed of Efren = 4 mi/h

 Speed of Gregory = 8.5 mi/h

 Let the time of catch up be t hours.

 Time of journey of Efren before catch up = (t+0.5)hours, since he starts before half hour.

 Distance traveled by Efren = 4 x (t+0.5) miles

 Time of journey of Gregory before catch up = t hours.

 Distance traveled by Gregory = 8.5 x t miles

If they catch up the distance traveled by them is same, so equating both distances.

4 x (t+0.5) = 8.5 x t

4.5t = 2

t = 0.44 hours =26.67 minutes = 26 minutes 40 seconds.

So Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

Select the correct answer. Which equation represents this line in point-slope form? A. `(y + 4) = (4)/(3) (x + 3)` B. `(y −4) =
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is `(y −4) = -(4)/(3) (x +3) ..

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached picture:

The points we have given are (-3, 4) and (3, -4)

Find the slope by applying the formula:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Here x1= -3

x2= 3

y1 = 4

y2 = -4

Now put the values in the formula:

m = -4 -4 /3 -(-3)

m = -8/3+3

m = -8/6

Now cancel the term by table of 2

m = -4/3

When two points are given, the equation of the line is

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

y - 4 = -4/3 (x - (-3))

y-4 =  -4/3 (x+3)

Thus the correct option is `(y −4) = -(4)/(3) (x +3) ....

MrRa [10]

Answer:

<em>y = x ÷ 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table of values, which will be represented as ordered pairs (x,y) below:

(2,1) (4,2) (8,4) (10,5) (16,8)

We are required to select one of the functions that match the numeric relationship between x and y.

We could test them one by one, but at simple observation, we can note the values of y are half of the values of x:

2/2=1

4/2=2

And so on. Thus the only function that divides the value of x by 2 to find the value of y is:

y = x ÷ 2
