Two hikers are walking along the Appalachian Trail. The first hiker is 2 miles ahead of the second hiker. Both hikers are travel

ing in the same direction at the same speed, 1 mile per hour. Let x represent the distance traveled by the first hiker after a certain time period.
Several students wrote equations for this situation. Which student is correct?


A.

Alex said, “The equation y = 2x + 1 represents the total distance traveled by both hikers.”



B.

Brenda said, “The equation y = 3x represents the total distance traveled by both hikers.”



C.

Chris said, “The equation y = x – 2 represents the distance traveled by the second hiker.”



D.

Drake said, “The equation y = x + 2 represents the distance traveled by the second hiker.”

Answer:

Chris is correct. (Choice letter C)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate choices A and B from the get-go because the problem stated that both hikers are traveling at 1mi/hr. This means that the slope of the equation would equate to 1, so just x.

That leaves us with C and D. The two equations both have a slope of 1, but C has a y-intercept of -2 and D has a y-intercept of 2, which represents the starting location of the second hiker. The first hiker is the one who is ahead by 2 miles, so it can't be D. This leaves us with choice C. Chris is correct.

What is the slope of the line that contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2)
ra1l [238]

The slope of the line that contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2) is 0

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the slope of the line

The line contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2)

<em><u>The slope of line is given as:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where, "m" is the slope of line

Here given points are (13,-2) and (3,-2)

(x_1, y_1) = (13, -2)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (3, -2)

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get,</u></em>

m = \frac{-2-(-2)}{3-13}\\\\m = \frac{-2+2}{3-13}\\\\m = 0

Thus the slope of line is 0

The amount of stretch in a short bungee cord stretches 6 inches when stretched by a 3pound weight. A slinky stretches 3 feet whe
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The slinky situation

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a rate, divide one value by the other.

For the short bungee,

6 inches ÷ 3 pound = 2 inches per pound

While the slinky,

36 inches (remember to convert feet to inches) ÷ 1 pound = 36 inches per pound

As you can tell by the numbers, 36 inches per pound is way better than the 2 inches per pound.
