Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through
The only equation in this form is
x = 0 ( the equation of the y- axis )
Answer:
32/35 or 0.914
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The given equation is
12x + 2y = 6
we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.
12x + 2y = 6
If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes
12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x
2y = 6 - 12x
2y = - 12x + 6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
y = - 6x + 3
Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,
slope = - 6
y intercept = 3
So 2 gallons every 5 minutes
2/5= .4
so .4 a minute
and you already have 5 gallons in so those need to be added
m=minutes
y=0.4m + 5 will be what you want to find out if you are looking to find out how much will be there in a certain time
for 50 minutes you will have
y=0.4(50) +5
20+5
25 gallons
HOWEVER, the equation has to be changed if you want to tell how long you have to wait for it to fill.
m=2.5(g-5)
m=minutes
g= gallons
you subtract 5 because they are already there
you multiply by 2.5 because it fills at a rate of 1 gallon every 2.5 minutes.
m=2.5(1500-5)
for the sake of it being easier i will do the -5 separately
2.5(1500 = 3750
2.5(-5= -12.5
3750-12.5
3737.5 minutes to fill the pool.
3720/60 = 62
17.5/60 = .292
62.292 hours to fill the pool.
p.s. you have a really slow hose.
Its good you didn't wait for it to fill, you would have died from lack of water before then if you just sat and waited.
