Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Distance of sun to Mars = 230,000,000 meters

How many seconds does it take for sunlight to reach Mars?

Using the relation :

Speed = distance / time

Hence ;

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 2.3 * 10^8 / 3 * 10^8

Time = 0.766

Time = 0.8 ( nearest tenth)

Changing the equation into slope form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope [gradient] and c is the y-intercept.

2x+3y=1470
3y = -2x+1470
y= - \frac{2}{3}x+ \frac{1470}{3}
y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490

The gradient is - \frac{2}{3} and y-intercept is at y=490

Graphing y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490 using slope-intercept method:
a) The slope is a negative slope. The line will go 'down hill'
b) The line must pass the point (0, 490)
c) The line will intercept the x-axis at y = 0
    0 = - \frac{2}{3}x+490
    \frac{2}{3}x = 490
    2x = 1470
    x = \frac{1470}{2}
    x = 735
    So, x-intercept is at (735, 0)

The graph of this function is shown below. The intercepts are labelled at:
y = 490
x = 735

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next month's profit equation

2x+3y=1593

Rewriting this into slope-equation form

3y = -2x+1593
y=- \frac{2}{3}+ \frac{1593}{3}
y= - \frac{2}{3}+531

The gradient, m, equals to - \frac{2}{3}
The y-intercept, c, equals to 531

The equation still has the same gradient with last month's profit equation but different y-intercept. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A linear graph show points of (0, 300) and (450, 0)

We work out the slope: 
\frac{300-0}{0-450} = \frac{300}{-450}=- \frac{20}{30}  =- \frac{2}{3}


Y-intercept at x = 0, so it's at y = 300

Equation y = - \frac{2}{3}+300

An instructor wants to write a test with 25 questions where each question is worth 3, 4, or 5 points based on difficulty. He wan
irakobra [83]

ANSWER

Find out the how many 3, 4, and 5 point questions could there be.

To proof

Let us assume that the 3 points based question be = x

Let us assume that the 4 points based question be = y

Let us assume that the 5 points based question be = z

As given

An instructor wants to write a test with 25 questions

than the equation become in the form

x + y + z = 25

he quiz to be worth a total of 100 points.

than the equation is becomes

3x + 4y + 5z =100

As given

He wants the number of 3-point questions to be 4 less than the number of 4-point questions

x = y -4

Than the three equation are

x + y + z = 25 ,3x + 4y + 5z =100 and x = y -4

put  x = y -4 in the x + y + z = 25 ,3x + 4y + 5z =100

than

2y + z = 29, 7y +5z= 112

multiply 2y + z = 29 by 5 and subtracted 7y +5z= 112

10 y -7y + 5y -5y = 145 -112

3y = 33

y = \frac{33}{3}

y =11

put in the  x = y -4

x = 11-4

x= 7

put the value of x ,y in the x + y + z = 25

7 + 11 +z =25

18 +z = 25

z = 25 -18

z=7

therefore

numbers of the 3 point question be = 7

numbers of the 4 point question be = 11

numbers of the 5 point question be = 7

Hence proved

A man is 13 times as old as his son is. In 10 years he will be 3 times as old as his son is now. How old are they now?
valkas [14]

Answer:

the son is 2

man is 26

+10 yrs

son=12

man=36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x.

Then the father's age is 13x.

In ten years their ages will be (x+10) and (13x+10).

(13x+10)=3(x+10)

13x+10=3x+30

10x=20

x=2

The son is 2 years old.
