A hot air balloon in flight begins to ascend at a steady rate of 120 feet per minute. After 1.5 minutes, the balloon is at an al

titude of 2150 feet. After 3 minutes, it is at an altitude of 2330 feet. Use an equation in point-slope form to determine whether the balloon will teach an altitude of 2500 feet in 4 minutes.

Answer:

The balloon will not reach 2,500 feet after 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in the point-slope form is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

A hot air balloon in flight begins to ascend at a steady rate of 120 feet per minute, then the slope is

m=120

After x_1=1.5 minutes, the balloon is at an altitude of y_1=2,150 feet. This means, the line passes through the point (1.5, 2,150).

Substitute the slope and point coordinates into the equation:

y-2,150=120(x-1.5)

We know that after 3 minutes, the balloon is at an altitude of 2,330 feet. Check this:

2,330-2,150=180\\ \\120(3-1.5)=120\cdot 1.5=180\\ \\2,330-2,150=120(3-1.5)

Now, find the height after 4 minutes:

y-2,150=120(4-1.5)\\ \\y=120\cdot 2.5+2,150=300+2,150=2,450

Thus, the balloon will reach only 2,450 feet after 4 minutes.

A line passes through (4, 5) and (8, 9). Which equation best represents the line?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1 y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate the slope of this line passing through (4,5) and (8,9) like this:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 5)/(8 - 4)

m = 4/4

m = 1

so the slope is 1, and now we can use the equation of one point and the slope to write the line's equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 1*(x - 4)

y - 5 = x - 4

y = x + 1

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1
