Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in distance started out being 1 mile. The difference in speeds is 5 mph, so that 1 mile will be covered in ...

  time = distance/speed = 1 mi/(5 mi/h) = (1/5) h

The police will catch up in 1/5 hour, or 12 minutes.

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes
grigory [225]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two points (2,7) and (4,-1).  In order to determine the linear equation, we need to find the slope and the y-intercept. First, find the slope <em>m.</em> Let (2,7) be x1 and y1, and let (4,-1) be x2 and y2:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{-1-7}{4-2}=-8/2=-4

Thus, the slope is -4.

Now, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point-slope form. Recall that the point slope form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where (x1, y1) is a coordinate pair and m is the slope.

Use either of the two coordinate pair. I'm going to use (2,7). Substitute them for x1 and y1, respectively:

y-(7)=-4(x-(2))\\y-7=-4x+8\\y=-4x+15

This is also slope-intercept form. The answer is A.

parker correctly answered 70% of the questions on his math test. If he answered 35 questions correctly, how many questions were
Alexandra [31]

Let the total number of questions in the math test be defined by the variable x.

Now, we know that Parker correctly answered 35 questions. These 35 questions make 70% of the total number of questions on his math test.

The information we have above can be expressed as an equation given below:

70% of x=35

This can be rewritten as:

\frac{70}{100}x=35

Thus, to find the total number of questions we will have to isolate x.

\therefore x=\frac{35\times 100}{70}=50

Therefore, there were a total of 50 questions in the math test.
