Answer:

<em>The value 60 represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Function</u>

The linear relationship between two variables d and t can be written in the form

d=mt+b

Where m is the slope (or rate of change of d with respect to t) and b is the y-intercept or the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis

The function provided in our problem is

d=130-60t

Where d is the distance in miles the counselor still needs to drive after t hours. Rearranging the expression:

d=-60t+130

Comparing with the general form of the line we can say m=-60, b=130. The value of -60 is the slope or the rate of change of d with respect to t. Since we are dealing with d as a function of time, that value represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving. It's negative because the distance left to drive decreases as the time increases

Can you solve the equation?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

x=3 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

; x-3=0

x=3 (change side change mark)

and

\frac{2}{3} x - 6 = 0

\frac{2}{3} x = 6

x = 6 \times  \frac{3}{2}

change side change mark.

So, x=9

If u wanna check the answer you can check by substitution x=3 and 9 in equation.

hope it helps you ☺️

Christopher is analyzing a circle, y^2 + x^2 = 121, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
Sav [38]
Circle: x^2+y^2=121=11^2 => circle with radius 11 and centred on origin.
g(x)=-2x+12   (from given table, find slope and y-intercept)
We can see from the graphics that g(x) will be almost tangent to the circle at (0,11), and that both intersection points will be at x>=11.
To show that this is the case, 
substitute g(x) into the circle
x^2+(-2x+12)^2=121
x^2+4x^2-2*2*12x+144-121=0
5x^2-48x+23=0
Solve using the quadratic formula,
x=(48 &pm; &radic; (48^2-4*5*23) )/10
=0.5058 or 9.0942
So both solutions are real and both have positive x-values.
