Answer:

a. The y-intercept is (0,4500) and means the skydiver starts at 4500 feet.

b. The slope is 1500 means the skydiver is descending 1500 feet per minute.

c. (3,0) means the skydiver reaches the ground after 3 mins.

d. y = -1500x +4500

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a linear function is a line of the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis and is (0,b). Here it is (0,4500). The x-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis and is (a,0). Here it is (3,0). To find the slope, find the difference between two points. Two points include (0, 4500) and (1, 3000). Subtract 4500-3000 = 1500 and 1-0 = 1. This means the skydiver travels -1500 feet per 1 minute since they are descending.

Place all the vales in the equation y=mx+b.

y=-1500x+4500

the first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x by completing the square are shown. 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x

Artist 52 [7]

The best step to do next is to add 80 to both sides of equation:
5 ( x² + 8 x ) + 80 = 14 + 80
and since 80 = 5 · 16
5 ( x² + 8 x + 16 ) = 94 Answer : B )
After that we will continue like this:
5 ( x + 4 )² = 94
( x + 4 )² = 18.8 ... etc

Graph each line without rearranging the equation help!!

Lyrx [107]

A line can be formed by at least two known data points. When these two are given, you can connect them and extend infinitely in one direction for both ends. So, that is how we're going to approach the problem. The two points that can be easily determined are the x- and y-intercepts. These are the points which the line intersects on the x- and y-axis, respectively. If we want to find for the x-intercept, just let y=0 and substitute it to the linear equation. Then, we can solve for x. The same thing is done to calculate for the y-intercept.

Solving for the x-intercept: let y=0
-3x + 5y = 6
-3x + 0 = 6
-3x = 6
x = 6/-3
x = -2

Solving for the y-intercept: let x=0
-3x + 5y = 6
-3(0) + 5y = 6
5y = 6
y = 6/5
y = 1.2

So, the two points are (-2,0) and (0,1.2). The line drawn is shown in the picture. This is the graph of the linear equation given.
