take?

The first step in solving this question is to split the journey into 2 parts. In the first part of the journey, \frac{2}{3} \times 15 = 10 miles are covered at a speed of 40 mph. In the second part the journey 5 miles are covered at a speed of 60 mph.

The equation to compute the time of a journey  given the speed and distance is t=\frac{d}{s} where t is the time, s is the speed and d is the distance.

The time for the first part of the journey is calculated as shown below,

t=\frac{d}{t} \\t=\frac{10m}{40mph} =\frac{10}{40} h.

The time for the second part of the journey is calculated as follows,

t=\frac{d}{t} \\t=\frac{5m}{60mph} =\frac{5}{60} h.

The total time is the sum of the times taken to cover each part of the journey and is calculated as shown below,

t=\frac{10}{40} h+\frac{5}{60} =\frac{30+10}{120} h=\frac{40}{120}h =\frac{1}{3} h

The time to cover the journey is a third of an hour or 20 minutes.

Solve for y 2x-5y=10
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y = 2/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 5y = 10

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Subtract 2x on both sides: -5y = 10 - 2x
  2. Divide both sides by -5: y = -2 + 2/5x
  3. Rewrite: y = 2/5x - 2

Slope = 2; (-1,4)<br><br> Gghhhgggggghgehwjwjwjwjwjwjw
krok68 [10]

The slope intercept form is given as  y = 2x + 6

The general expression for slope intercept form is given as:

                   y = mx + c

where, m = slope

             c = intercept

The formula for slope intercept form when we have been given the coordinates of a point and slope is given as :

           (y-y_{1}) = m(x-x_{1})      (1)

where (x_{1} , y_{1}) = the coordinates of a point

               m = slope of the line

putting the required values in equation (1) we get

            (y - 4) = 2(x- (-1))

            (y - 4) = 2(x+1)   [As (-)*(-) = +]

             y - 4 = 2x + 2

              y = 2x + 2 + 4

              y = 2x + 6

Thus the slope intercept form is y = 2x + 6
