y-axis = altitude in feet

x-axis = minutes

slope = y/x = feet/minute


According to above data, we know that 1800 feet is y-intercept and slope is -300 feet per minute (why slope is negative? because its approaching ground at a constant speed)

a. slope = -300

  y-intercept = 1800


b. y = -300 x + 1800


c. Here we are given x = 2 minutes

y = -300(2) + 1800

y = -600 + 1800

y = 1200

The balloon will be 1200 feet high above the ground in 2 minutes.


d. Here we are given 300 feet which is y, and find x minutes.

y = -300 x + 1800

300 = -300x + 1800

300 - 1800 = - 300x

-1500 = -300x

1500 = 300 x

x = 1500 / 300

x = 5

The balloon will reach 300 feet above the ground in 5 minutes.


e. It asking when the balloon will reach the ground, if the balloon reaches the ground than the height will be 0, therefore x-intercept (y=0).

y = -300 x + 1800

0 = -300 x + 1800

-1800 = -300x

1800 / 300 = x

x = 6

The balloon will reach the ground in 6 minutes.

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $12 plus a monthly fee of $28. Club B offers me
EleoNora [17]

A has fixed one time fee of $12 and if you go to it say "m" months you pay $28 for each month, so your total cost at A is really 12 + 28m.

B has a fixed one time fee of $20 and if you go to it "m" months you pay $26 for each month, so you total cost at B is 20 + 26m.

how many months for the cost to be the same?

\stackrel{A}{12+28m}=\stackrel{B}{20+26m}\implies 12+2m=20\implies 2m=8\implies m=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies m=4

well, since the cost for both is the same, we can just get A's, knowing that B is the same

12+28(4)\implies 12+112\implies 124

(-2,9) and (-2,-5)<br> Slope:
Oliga [24]

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 5 )

m = \frac{-5-9}{-2-(-2)} = \frac{-14}{-2+2} = \frac{-14}{0}

Since division by zero is undefined then the slope is undefined

How to solve 6x+5x-4=2x-8
solniwko [45]
6x+5x-4=2x-8~~~First we simplify(add 6x and 5x)
11x-4=2x-8~~~Now add 4 to both sides
       +4      +4
11x=2x-4~~~~Remove 2x from both sides now.
-2x   -2x
9x=-4~~~~Now divide by 9x
÷9x ÷9x

x= -4/9

What is the perimeter in centimetres of a regular octagon with sides measuring 17 mm?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

1.36 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

side length ( a ) = 17 mm

To find : Perimeter of regular octagon ( in cm )

Octagon has 8 sides.

Perimeter of regular octagon

= 8 x a

= 8 x 17

= 136 mm

1 mm = 0.1 cm

136 mm

= 136 x 0.1

= 1.36 centimeters ( cm )

Hence,

Perimeter of regular octagon is 1.36 centimeters.

Pleasee help me, I don’t get it
Aleks [24]

Answer:

x = 4 sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

8^2 + x^2 = 12^2

64+ x^2 =144

Subtract 64 from each side

x^2 = 144-64

x^2 =80

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(80)

x = sqrt(16*5)

x = 4 sqrt(5)
