Answer:

The rate  of descent is -67.5\frac{feet}{minute}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the rate or slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Let

x------> the time in minutes

y----> the elevation in feet

we have

A(0,6,678)\ B(48,3,438)

Substitute the values

m=\frac{3,438-6,678}{48-0}

m=\frac{-3,240}{48}

m=-67.5\frac{feet}{minute}

If m=2,n=5 and y =3, evaluate
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

here you go :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace the variables with their corresponding values:

\frac{2(5+3)}{2*5}

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

\frac{3+5}{5}

Add 3 and 5 to get 8.

\frac{8}{5}

Finally, divide 8 by 5 to get your answer:

\frac{8}{5} = 1.6

Your answer is (a) 1.6

15. True or False: Is x = 4 a solution to X + 51 = -9<br> True<br> False
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

False, also the typed version of this problem does not actually use the expression in the accompanying screenshot. That clearly reads as x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem, assuming x = 4 can be read as 4 + 5. Simple math dictates this would equal nine and as there is no negative to either number nor a negative outside of the lines surrounding the problem itself the solution is simple and leads to a false answer.

A hardware store rent vacuum cleaners that customers for part or all of A day before returning. The Store charges a flat fee Plu
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the amount that the customer pays per hour

for renting the vacuum cleaner before returning it.

Let y represent the flat rate that the store charges a customer for renting the vacuum cleaner.

Let F represent the amount that the store charges a customer for renting the vacuum cleaner for x hours.

A linear function F for the total retail cost of a vacuum cleaner would be

F(x) = x + y

If the customer rents it for n hours, the total amount becomes

F(x) = nx + y
