Y=(1/2 x)-2
My Work:
Say that the slop is "a" and that the y-intercept is "b".
For the slope:
First coordinate equation: -3=-2a+b
Second coordinate equation: -1=2a+b
Combine the equations. -3-(-1)=-2a-(2a)+b-(b)
Break down the parenthesis. -3+1=-2a-2a+b-b
Simplify the equation. -2=-4a
Divide both sides by -4 to get the answer to the slope. a=1/2
For the y-intercept:
Use the second coordinate's equation and the now known slope. -3=-2*1/2+b
Multiply -2 by 1/2 (Order of Operations). -3=-1+b
Add +1 to both sides to cancel the -1. -3+1=b
Finally, solve the solve -3+1 to get the answer to the y-intercept. b=-2
Answer:
C. R = 17.9 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a rectangle triangle with the adjacent side and the opposite side (neither of which are the hypotenuse).
The relation between those elements is the tangent:
So, to isolate the angle, we modify the formula as such:
If we round 17.87 degrees to the tenth... we get 17.9 degrees.
9. $112.50 / 9 lawns = $12.50 per lawn
10. $122.50 / 7 lawns = $17.50 per lawn
11. $112.50 / 7.5 hours = $15.00 per hour
$122.50 / 5 hours = $24.50 per hour
Alastair earns more per hour
12. Taryn: 49 more hours ($735 / $15.00)
Alastaie: 30 more hours ($735 / $24.50)
You found how much money they charge per hour in 11 so use that to find how many hours it takes to earn $735.
