Slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-3-9)/(15-19) = -12/-4 = 3
The slope is 3
So, the first thing you want to find out is how many seconds each person adds to the wait time. Find out how many seconds are in 20 minutes.. 20*60=120. 120/150=0.8 seconds. Each person adds 0.8 seconds to the wait time. Now, multiply that by 240.. 240*0.8=192 seconds. Lastly, find out how many minutes 192 seconds is... 192/60=32 minutes.
I hope I did that right! And if I did, I hope that helped!
Find the value of r(q(4)), so first you need to find the value of q(4).
q(4), this means that x = 4, so substitute/plug it into the equation to find the value of q(x) when x = 4:
q(x) = -2x - 1 Plug in 4 into "x" since x = 4
q(4) = -2(4) - 1
q(4) = -8 - 1
q(4) = -9
Now that you know the value of q(4), you can find the value of r(x) when x = q(4)
r(x) = 2x² + 1
r(q(4)) = 2(q(4))² + 1 Plug in -9 into "q(4)" since q(4) = -9
r(q(4)) = 2(-9)² + 1
r(q(4)) = 2(81) + 1
r(q(4)) = 163 163 is the value of r(q(4))
