Two classmates got together over the weekend to do their assigned History reading. Bobby can read 1 page per minute, while Rosa

can read 4 pages per minute. When they met, Bobby had already read 32 pages, and Rosa had already gotten through 20 pages. After a while, they had both read the same number of pages. How many pages had each one read? How long did that take?

Answer:

In 4 minutes both have read 36 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the time in minutes

y ----> the number of pages read

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Bobby

The slope is

m=1\ \frac{page}{minute}

The y-intercept is

b=32\ pages ----> initial value

so

y=x+32 ----> equation A

Rosa

The slope is

m=4\ \frac{page}{minute}

The y-intercept is

b=20\ pages ----> initial value

so

y=4x+20 ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

4x+20=x+32

solve for x

4x-x=32-20\\3x=12\\x=4\ min

For x=4 minutes

Bobby

y=4+32=36\ pages

Rosa

y=4(4)+20=36\ pages

therefore

In 4 minutes both have read 36 pages

The graph shows the height of a hiker above sea level.
dimaraw [331]

The <u>correct answer</u> is:


B) The variables are height and time. For the first part of the graph, the height is increasing slowly, which means the hiker is walking up a gentle slope. Flat parts of the graph show where the elevation does not change, which means the trail is flat here. The steep part at the end of the graph shows that the hiker is descending a steep incline.


Explanation:


The variables are marked on the graph. Time is marked along the x-axis, which means it is the independent variable. Height is marked along the y-axis, which means it is the dependent variable.


The first part of the graph rises slowly. This means the elevation does not change much over the time; this would be consistent with a gentle slope being climbed.


The flat areas are where the elevation does not change. This would be consistent with the hiker resting.


The steep decrease at the end shows that the elevation goes down quickly. This is consistent with the hiker climbing down a steep slope.
