Suppose a horse is galloping at 19 mph toward a clown, and the clown is racing toward the horse on an ATV which can sustain a sp

eed of 15mph. They are 50 miles apart from one another and start at the exact same moment in time. How much time will it take for the horse and clown to collide?

Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Please help me with this problem​
eimsori [14]

Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)

Slope = change in Y over change in x:

Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2

Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)

Simplify to get y = 2x-3

Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.

The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3

You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7

The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7

Iris is building a model of the Washington Monument. Her model measures 15 in. tall and is 1.5 in. wide at the base. The actual
irina [24]
Using how tall it is over how wide
=>tall/wide
The model 15in/1.5in
The actual x/55ft

Convert everything into the same units so 55ft to inches
There are 12in in 1ft
55ft * 12in/1ft
The ft cross out leaving in
55*12in= 660 in

So
15in/1.5in = x/660in
Now solve for x my multiplying both side by 660in
660in *15in/1.5in=x
x= 6600in tall
