Ok, so here, we need to use the slope formula which is:
(y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)
y2 = 9
y1 = 5
x2 = x
x1 = 10
So:
(9-5)/(x-10) = -2
Now, we just solve for x,
9-5 = -2(x-10)
4 = -2x+20
2x = 16
x = 8
19/29
Find the common factor which in this case is 2. Divide numerator and denominator by common factor. You’re left with 19/29. Since 19 and 29 don’t have any common factors it is in its simplest form.
Answer:
4 x minus 5 y = negative 5 and 3 x + 10 y = negative 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations
4 x - 5 y = 5 (red)
3 x + 10 y = 20 (blue)
4 x - 5 y = -5 (green)
3 x + 10 y = -20 (purple)
are shown in the picture attached. As we can see there, the point (–2.7, –1.2) is on the intersection of the purple and green lines. Therefore is the solution of the system:
4 x - 5 y = -5
3 x + 10 y = -20
To find the answer, we can first find the distance each of them have, then divide it by their speed to find the time needed.
Distance Steve need to travel: 300 feet
Distance Paula need to travel:
300+175(behind steve) = 475 feet
Time needed respectively:
Steve: 300 ÷ 9 = 33.33.. seconds
Paula: 475 ÷ 15 = 31.66... seconds
As we can see from the result, Paula would take less time to reach the goal (31.66<33.33),
therefore, Paula win the bike race by:
33.33-31.67
=1.66...
≈1.67 feet
Thus Paula won by 1.67 feet.
Hope it helps!
