Answer:

<em>y = 1/3x - 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Line y = 1/3x + 5 has slope 1/3, so the line we are looking for also has slope 1/3.

y = 1/3x + b

We know a point, so we plug in the values of x and y, and we solve for b.

y = 1/3x + b

-1 = (1/3)(3) + b

-1 = 1 + b

b = -2

Now that we know b, the equation is:

y = 1/3x - 2

To find the slope, use the simple rule rise/run. The change in the y value over the change in the x value. The y changes by -1 when the x changes by positive 2. Therefore, the slope is -1/2.

Miguel and his brother Ario are both standing 3 meters from one side of a 25 meter pool when they decide to race. Miguel offers
nalin [4]
Since both of them are 3 meters from one side of the 25 meter pool, the distance that they have to cover is actually only 22 meters only. To answer this item, we let x be the distance covered by Ario and 22-x be his remaining distance. Such that,
                                 x/(22-x) = 1/4
The value of x from the equation is 4.4. 

Therefore, the distance that Ario had covered is 4.4 m.
