To find the slope, u need to put the equation in y = mx + b form, where m will be ur slope.

2x - 4y = 10 ... subtract 2x from both sides
-4y = -2x + 10...divide both sides by -4
y = (-2/-4)x + (-10/4)
y = 1/2x - 5/2

y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x - 5/2
the slope(m) = 1/2

Given the speeds of each runner below, determine who runs the fastest.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Stephanie

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare each runner's speed, we must convert them all to the same units.

Let's convert then all to feet per second.

1. Stephanie

Speed = 13 ft/s

2. Emily

$\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{538 ft}}{\text{45 s}} = \text{12.0 ft/s}$

3. Brooke

$\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{560 s}} \times \dfrac{\text{5280 ft}}{\text{1 mi}} = \text{9.4 ft/s}$

4. Katie

$\text{ speed} = \dfrac{\text{747 ft}}{\text{1 min}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 min}}{\text{60 s}} = \textbf{12.4 ft/s}$

Stephanie is the fastest runner.

the total cost of a bus ride and a ferry ride is $8.00. in one month, bus fare will increase by 10% and ferry fare will increase

ipn [44]

The bus fare is x, and the ferry fare is y.

x + y = 8

The bus fare will increase by 10% and the ferry fare will increase by 25%.

1.1x + 1.25y = 9.25

Multiply the first equation by -1.1:

-1.1x - 1.1y = -8.8

Add this to the original second equation.

0.15y = 0.45

y = 3

x + y = 8

x + 3 = 8

x = 5

The bus fare is $5, and ferry fare is $3.

Why is 8:6 equivalent to 4:3 and 16:12

ki77a [65]

8:6 is equivalent to 4:3 because if you divide the 8:3 by 2 then you would get 4:3 . And if you multiply the 8:6 by 2 then you would get 16:12
