B 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
y = total distance left to cover
-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground
b = the total distance to cover from start to finish
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with <em>mx </em>being the slope and <em>b </em>being the y intercept
<em>y = mx + b</em>
all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by <em>x </em>represented as <em>m</em>...
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD
<em>b</em> would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
The area of a trapezoid with base lengths 7 in and 19 in is given by
A = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
A = (1/2)(7 +19)·7 = 91
The appropriate choice is
D. 91 in²
_____
It can also be figured by adding the area of the 7 in square (49 in²) to the area of the 7×12 in right triangle (42 in²).
