To find X, the answer would be 2
Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:
Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t
Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0
Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles
So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.
Answer:
Cost of 11 cans of Dog food is $9.57
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 5 cans of dog food = $4.35
So to find out the cost of 11 cans of dog food at the same price, we need to calculate the price of 1 can of dog food.
<u>Calculation for finding out cost of 1 can of dog food</u>
The price $4.35 which is given is the price of 5 cans
So to find the cost of 1 can, we need to divide the given price by 5
5 Cans of dog food = $4.35
1 can of dog food = 4.35 ÷ 5
1 can of dog food = $0.87
<em><u>Now to find out the price of 11 cans, we will multiply the price of 1 can with 11</u></em>
Cost of 11 cans = 11 × $0.87
= $9.57
Answer:
Point A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the temperature dropped 15 degrees, and that it was initially of 5°C. So, by midnight, the temperature will be of -10°C (5-15=-10).
We also know that the distance between points is of 5°C. So, the point that we have to mark is point A, which represents -10°C.
