Answer:
B. y = -5x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the given values in the form ...
y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)
y = -5x +(-2)
y = -5x -2 . . . . simplify; matches choice B
Answer: 460.6 miles South of Chicago
Explanation:
1) <span>The City of New Orleans leaves Union Station in Chicago at 6:00 am and
travels south to New Orleans. The train travels the 930.0 miles to New Orleans at an average speed of 79.0 miles per hour.
Scheme:
→to south ←to north
|----------------------|---------------------|
A x X 930.0 - x B
6:00 am 6:00 am
→ ←
v = 79.0 mi/h v = 81.1 mi/h
=> x = 79.0 mi/h * t
2) at the same time the City of Chicago leaves New Orleans and travels north to Nhicago. The
train travels the 930.0 miles to Chicago at an average speed of 81.1
miles per hour.
930.0 - x = 81.1 mi/h * t
3) How many miles south of chicago do the two trains pass
each other?
Divide the two equations:
930.0 - x 81.1*t
------------- = ----------
x 79*t
t cancels out =>
930.0 - x 81.1
------------- = --------
x 79.0
Solve:
81.1x = 79.0(930.0 - x)
81.1x = 79.0 * 930.0 - 79.0x
81.1x + 79.0x = 73,470
=> 160.1x = 73,470
=> x = 73,470 / 160.1
=> x = 460.6 mi

Answer:
1 and 2.
Midpoints calculated, plotted and connected to make the triangle DEF, see the attached.
- D= (-2, 2), E = (-1, -2), F = (-4, -1)
3.
As per definition, midsegment is parallel to a side.
Parallel lines have same slope.
<u>Find slopes of FD and CB and compare. </u>
- m(FD) = (2 - (-1))/(-2 -(-4)) = 3/2
- m(CB) = (1 - (-5))/(1 - (-3)) = 6/4 = 3/2
- As we see the slopes are same
<u>Find the slopes of FE and AB and compare.</u>
- m(FE) = (-2 - (- 1))/(-1 - (-4)) = -1/3
- m(AB) = (1 - 3)/(1 - (-5)) = -2/6 = -1/3
- Slopes are same
<u>Find the slopes of DE and AC and compare.</u>
- m(DE) = (-2 - 2)/(-1 - (-2)) = -4/1 = -4
- m(AC) = (-5 - 3)/(-3 - (-5)) = -8/2 = -4
- Slopes are same
4.
As per definition, midsegment is half the parallel side.
<u>We'll show that FD = 1/2CB</u>
- FD =
= 
= 
- CB =
= 
= 2 - As we see FD = 1/2CB
<u>FE = 1/2AB</u>
- FE =
= 
= 
- AB =
= 
= 2 - As we see FE = 1/2AB
<u>DE = 1/2AC</u>
- DE =
= 
= 
- AC =
= 
= 2 - As we see DE = 1/2AC
Yes to both, and for future help, if you find a common denominator(the bottom one) by multiplication and one is higher, boom you have your answer.
