Answer:

Option C. The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the time in seconds

y ----> the distance in meters

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

In this problem, the slope or unit rate of the linear equation is the same that the speed

<em>Robin's Flight</em>

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

take two points from the table

(2,30) and (3,45)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{45-30}{3-2}

m=\frac{15}{1}

m=15\frac{m}{sec}

<em>Cardinal's Flight</em>

y=10x

m=10\frac{m}{sec}

<em>Blue Jay's Flight</em>

take two points from the graph

(0,0) and (2,20)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{20-0}{2-0}

m=\frac{20}{2}

m=10\frac{m}{sec}

Compare

The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

Kipish [7]

Answer:

- 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -5-1)/(2- -3)

   = (-5-1)/(2+3)

  - 6/5

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

I believe it is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property switches around the order of the digits to make the problem easier. In my opinion it is easiest to multiply the fractions together, and then the whole number.

Please help me graph question
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put in the form of y = Ax + B

x + 2y = 10

2y = -x + 10

y = -½x + 5

has a slope of -½ and a y intercept of 5

-x + 4y = 8

4y = x + 8

y = ¼x + 2

has a slope of ¼ and a y intercept of 2
