Let x the age of John
Amy's age = x + 9
from question, we get,
John's age + Amy's age = 23
x+(x+9)= 23
=> x + x + 9 = 23
=> 2x = 23 - 9
=> x = 14/2
=> x = 7

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,1) and (8,-3)?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y=-x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,1)

(8,-3)

1)a slope of a line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  so (-3-1)/(8-4)

  -4/4=>m=-1

2)to find y-int replace any points in the equation by x and y

so    1=-1(4)+b

        1=-4+b

        1+4=b

so b= 5

therefore the equation is  y=-x+5   so d

The speed limit is 25 miles per hour, but it seems that many of the cars are going faster. The city places 2 counter strips 360
klio [65]
You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft.  Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.

           (25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

       =    (25 · 5280 / 3600)  ft/sec  =  (36 and 2/3) feet per second.

To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take

                360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec)  =   9.82 seconds .

Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.
_________________________________

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:

Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?

           (360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)

       =    (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280)  mile/hour

       =        245.5 / S    miles per hour .

The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?

                   245.5 / 7.0  =  35.1 miles per hour


Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips.  How fast was this car traveling ?

                        245.5 / 9.82  =  25 miles per hour
