Answer: Choice A</h3>
y equals short dash 2 x minus 1
In other words, y = -2x - 1 is the equation
=========================================================
Explanation:
Slope = m = -2
Point on the line is (x,y) = (1, -3)
Use these three items to find the y intercept b
y = mx+b
-3 = -2*1 + b
-3 = -2 + b
-3+2 = b
-1 = b
b = -1
The slope intercept form of y = mx+b turns into y = -2x-1 after plugging m = -2 and b = -1
Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.
Simplify the equation.
(x+5) + x = 35 Divide both sides by 4
2x+5 = 35 Combine like terms
2x = 30 Subtract 5 from both sides
x = 15 Divide both sides by 2
Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.
Answer:
4.5 -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
11/15 OR 0.73
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 ---> 6/15
1/3 ---> 5/15
6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15
OR
2/5 ---> 0.4
1/3 ---> 0.33
0.4 + 0.33 = 0.73
