You know two points on the line: 
 
                 (0 minutes, 0 gallons)  and  (8 minutes, 4 gallons) .

The slope of the line is

                             (4 gallons - 0 gallons) / (8 minutes - 0 minutes) =

                                       (4 gallons)  /  (8 minutes)  = 

                                           (4 / 8)  (gallons / minutes)  =

                                              <em> 1/2  gallons/minute</em> .

22. a. In 1990, Nadezhda Ryashkina set the record for the 10,000 m race-walking event. She finished this race in 41 minutes 56.2
iVinArrow [24]

Given the distance covered and the time elapsed, Ryashkina's average walking rate is approximately 3.97 meters per second.

<h3>What was Ryashkina's average walking rate?​</h3>

Rate or speed is expressed as distance walked or traveled per unit time.

R = s/t

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance covered s = 10,000m
  • Time elapsed t = 41 minutes 56.23 seconds
  • Rate r = ?

First convert 41 minutes to seconds.

⇒ 41min = ( 41 × 60 )s = 2460sec

Now, Elapsed time t = 2460s + 56.23s = 2516.23 second

Next, we determine the rate.

R = s / t

R = 10000m / 2516.23 s

R = 3.97m/s

Given the distance covered and the time elapsed, Ryashkina's average walking rate is approximately 3.97 meters per second.

In which form is the following function written?<br><br> y+20=8(x+7)^2
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

  (a variation of) vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

For vertical scale factor "a" and vertex (h, k), the vertex form of the equation for a parabola can be written as ...

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k

If k is subtracted from this equation, an alternate form is ...

  y -k = a(x -h)^2

This latter version of vertex form is the form your equation has, where ...

  • a = 8
  • (h, k) = (-7, -20)
