We are given two points: (4, -8) and (8, 5)
General equation of a line: y = mx + c
First find m (the gradient). There is a formula for this: (change in y)/(change in x) = gradient
(5 - -8) / (8 - 4) = (13) / (4) = 3.25 = m
y = 3.25x + c
Now we need to find c (the y-intercept; the value of y when x=0).
Substitute in any one of the coordinates - let's use (8, 5)
(5) = 3.25(8) + c
(5) = 26 + c
c = -21
The equation of the line: y = 3.25x - 21
I think that this answer is correct - sorry if it seems rushed.
Hope this answer helps :)
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 4d/t - S1
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
total time = t = 2.75 hours
Initial speed = S1 = 55 mi/h
Final speed = x
distance = d = 60 mi
Formula
speed = distance / time
Average speed = (Initial speed + final speed)/2 or
= (S1 + x)/2
Substitution
(S1 + x)/2 = 2(d) / t
Solve for x
x = (2d/t)2 - S1
Simplification and result
x = 4d/t - S1
Let x be her initial distance from the building, then tan 37 = 130/x
x = 130/tan 37 = 130/0.7536 = 172.5 feet
Let y be her distance from the building after moving forward, then
tan 40 = 130/y
y = 130/tan 40 = 130/0.8391 = 154.9
After moving forward, she is 172.5 - 154.9 = 17.6 ft closer.
Number of containers for 2 litres of water = 1
So, number of containers for 1 litre of water = ½
So, number of containers for 30 litres of water
= ½ × 30
= 30/2
= 15
So, 15 of these containers would be needed to fill a 30-liter drum.
