The equation in y = mx+b form is y = -450x+2745
where,
x = number of hours that have passed by
y = distance to destination in miles
The y intercept is 2745 since this is the initial starting y value, aka the starting distance. Therefore b = 2745.
The slope is -450 or -450/1 since for each hour, the distance goes down by 450. You can think of it as
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)
slope = (-450 miles)/(1 hour)
slope = -450
The answer is 12 because you have to subtract
32-20
Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:

The first number is three times the second number. So:

Substitute:

Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:

And divide both sides by two:

So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
Replace x with -x
if you get same function, function is even
if get negative of original, function is odd
if niehter, then neither
if replace with -x
we get the negattive of it or -14 times cube root of x
answer is it is odd function
3 times a # (# isn't specified, so you should use a variable): 3x
result is 5: =5
Put it all together: 3x=5
