a cold wave hit chicago when the temperature hit 62 f during the cold wave the temperature dropped 2 degrees every hour how many

hours was it before the temputure was below 40 f

We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8
Gekata [30.6K]
First, let (x,y) be a point in our parabola. Since we know that the focus of our parabola is  the point (0,8), we are going to use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:
\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}

Next, we are going to find the distance between the directrix and the point in our parabola. Remember that the distance between a point (x,y) of a parabola and its directrix, y=c, is: |y-c|. Since our directrix is y=-8, the distance to our point will be:
|y-(-8)|
|y+8|

Now, we are going to equate those two distances, and square them to get rid of the square root and the absolute value:
\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y+8|
(\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}})^{2}=|y+8|^{2}
(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=y+8

Finally, we can expand and solve for y:
x^2+y^2-16y+64=y^2+16y+64
x^{2}-16y=16y
32y=x^{2}
y= \frac{1}{32} x^2

We can conclude that t<span>he standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8 is </span>y= \frac{1}{32} x^{2}

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -9) and (5, 3)
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is

m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3

It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg.  Then  

m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3
