Answer:

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491                                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

y(x) = 1100x + 2491

The above gives the altitude of the airplane above the sea level in feet(y) after x minutes since the take off.

Comparing the above equation, to a general linear equation, we have,

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Comparing we get,

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491

Interpretation:

  • The slope of equation tells us about the rate of change of function with unit increase in value of x. Thus, the altitude of airplane increases 1100 feet when the time increases by 1 minute.
  • The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Thus, the altitude of airplane is 2491 feet when the airplane has not taken off.

One number exceeds another number by 6. One fourth of the sum of the two numbers is two less than the smaller.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

7 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y , x > y , then

x = y + 6 → (1)

\frac{1}{4} (x + y) = y - 2 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

x + y = 4y - 8 ( subtract 4y from both sides )

x - 3y = - 8 → (2)

Substitute x = y + 6 into (2)

y + 6 - 3y = - 8

- 2y + 6 = - 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2y = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 7 + 6 = 13

The 2 numbers are 7 and 13

If x -9 is a factor of x^2 -5x-36 , what is the other factor ?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

(x + 4) (x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

x^2 - 5 x - 36

The factors of -36 that sum to -5 are 4 and -9. So, x^2 - 5 x - 36 = (x + 4) (x - 9):

Answer: (x + 4) (x - 9)
