Hi so this I how I got my answer hope this helps
The reciprocal of 5/8 is 8/5 all you have to do is flip it.
so if you are looking for the reciprocal to 2, then it is 1/2 because of the fraction properties
Answer:
y= -x
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>slope- intercept form</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Given that the slope is -1, m= -1.
Substitute m= -1 into the equation:
y= -x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.
When x= 2, y= -2,
-2= -2 +c
c= -2 +2
c= 0
Thus, the equation of the line is y= -x.

Answer: Approximately 4.7 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
He rode the bicycle for some time before it broke down and he walked the remaining distance. This means that Jim covered a total of 165 miles by riding at a speed of 35 miles per hour and walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.
Let x = the distance covered by riding the bicycle.
Let y = the distance covered by walking.
Time = distance /speed
Time he used in riding would be x/35
Time he used in walking would be y/3
Since the entire trip took 7 hours,
x/35 + y/3 = 7
3x + 35y = 735 - - - - - - - - 1
Total miles covered is 165. Therefore,
x + y = 165 - - - - - - - - -- - -2
Substituting x = 165-y into equation 1, it becomes
3(165-y) + 35y = 735
495-3y + 35y = 735
-3y + 135y = 735-495
132y = 240
y = 240/132
y = 1.81m
x = 165 - 1.81 = 163.19
Amount of time that he spent on the bicycle will be
x/35 = 163.19/35
= 4.66
Approximately 4.7 hours.
