Let
x----------> the number of students
y---------> the time in minutes

we know that
<span>If the time varies inversely with the number of students
</span>so
y=k/x
for x=3
y=16 min
16=k/3---------> k=48

y=48/x
for x=2
y=48/2-------> y=24 minutes

the answer is
24 minutes

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 100 feet​ (ft). the area of the rectangular garden area is 600 ft2. find the length and
svlad2 [7]
Let the length be x and the width be y:
Area=x*y=600
thus
x=600/y

Perimeter=2(L+W)
100=2(x+y)
substituting the value of x we obtain:
100=2(600/y+y)
solving for y we shall have:
50=600/y+y
50y=600+y^2
thus
y^2-50y+600=0
solving the quadratic we obtain:
y=20 or y=30
thus the length=30 ft and the width=20 ft

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line passing through (8,1) and (1,8)
frosja888 [35]

Answer: y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the slope of the line we will use: (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the two points, we get: (8-1)/(1-8)

Simplify it: 7/-7

Finally, the slope is -1

We can now write: y = -x + b

Next we will plug in a point into the equation we have:

(8,1)  -->   1 = -8 + b          Then solve algebraically

b = 9

Then finish the equation:

y = -x + 9
