Answer:

32.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?

Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :

y = -0.95x + c

Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:

48 = -0.95(31) + c

c = 48 + 0.95(31)

c = 48 + 29.45

c = 77.45

The equation of the line is

y = -0.95x + 77.45

After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.

y = -0.95(47) + 77.45

y = -44.65 + 77.45

y = 32.8 miles

Answer:

$DM=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let the point where the altitude from $D$ intersects $AB$ be called as point $E$ .) First, let's find the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ . The area of a parallelogram is simply $b*h=bh$ , where $b$ is the parallelogram's base and $h$ is the parallelogram's height. If we let $AB$ and $DE$ be the base and height respectively, since we are already given their lengths, we know that the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ will be $AB*DE=15*8=120$ .

Now, how does this information matter, you might ask? Well, we can take either $AB$ <em>or </em> $CB$ to be the base and either $DE$ or $DM$ to be the height. In this case, let's take the latter two options, as we are looking to find the length of $DM$ .

Therefore, we know that the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ can also be found by calculating $CB*DM$ . Since we know the values of the area and $CB$ , we can write the following equation to solve for $DM$ :
