Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Top line: y = (2/3)x + 2
Bottom line: y = (2/3)x -1
Discussion:
The graph provided is hard to read but I did the best I could.
The top line appears to pass through the points (0,2) and (-3,0)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (0-2)/(-3-0) = -2/-3 = +2/3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,2) set x = 0, y= 2 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
2 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = 2
Therefore y = (2/3)x + 2
The bottom line appears to pass through the points (0,-1) and (3,1)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (1-(-1)) /(3-0) = +2/-3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,-1) set x = 0, y= -1 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
-1 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = -1
Therefore y = (2/3)x + -1
Thank you,
MrB
can you show the number line please
No they're not proportional, and it's four*.
4/2 = 2
20/6 = 3.333333333334 or 3 1/3
Hello there! Your answer should be 4 mph. Reasoning:
2 = (20 - x) * t
3 = (20 + x ) * t
Time is the same for both equations. Solve for T.
2/(20-x) = 3/(20+x)
the answer is 4 mph.
Please tell me if I was right!
