Answer:
the answer would be 6:30 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
if you left work at 5:15 and it took 1 1/4 min to get home
you would
find 1/4 witch would be 15 min because 60/4= 15
then add 1:15 to 5:15
1:15 + 5:15 = 6:30 pm
you arrived home at 6:30 pm
The point-slope form of a line is:
y-y1=m(x-x1), where m=slope and (x1,y1) is any point on the line
First we need to find the slope, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(4--1)/(8-2)
m=5/6 and we can use either point, I'll use (8,4)
y-4=(5/6)(x-8)
That is your equation in point-slope form.
Now the standard equation of a line is ax+by=c
y-4=(5/6)(x-8) we can perform the indicated multiplication on the right side
y-4=(5x-40)/6 multiply both sides by 6
6y-24=5x-40 add 24 to both sides
6y=5x-16 subtract 5x from both sides
-5x+6y=-16 and by convention, the standard equation of a line should be expressed with a positive coefficient for x, so multiply both sides by -1
5x-6y=16
Rather than trial and error, you can do this with an equation.
x + x+1 + x+2 = 267 =>
3x+3 = 267
x = 264/3 = 88
So the numbers are 88+89+90. 90 is the largest number.
