Answer:

m=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

So our equation to find the slope is:

       y₂-y₁

m=   -------

       x₂-x₁

(1,-4) is our first coordinate pair, which means that we will put them like this:

1=x₁

-4=y₁

(5,-8) is our second coordinate pair, which means that we will put them like this:

5=x₂

-8=y₂

We can substitute these numbers into the original equation:

     -8-(-4)

m= ---------

       5-1

Then we can simplify::

-8+4     -4

------- = ---- =  -1

 4         4

m=-1

Answer: y= -1x+b, or -x+b

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 1 because you have to plug in the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1.  -8-(-4)/5-1. This is equal to -4/4, which is -1.

Tom was driving 20.3 meters per second in a 45 mile per hour zone. Was Tom speeding? Explain using a unit conversion as well as
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Tom was speeding.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driving speed of Tom = 20.3 meters per second.

Speed allowed in the zone = 45 miles per hour zone.

Since the unit of speed allowed is given in miles per hour but the speed of tom is given in meters per second. So, first, we have to convert the meter per second into mile per hour then we can compare and find that Tom is speeding or not.  

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600 second

Now convert 20.3 into mile per hour.

20.3 meters per second. = (20.3 / 1609.34)*3600 = 45.40981 mile per hour.

Since Tom’s speed is more than the allowed speed so he is speeding.
