Teresa is correct because he rode a 1/4 mile bike trail 8 times and if you simplify 8/4 miles it would be 2 miles
Use the formula m = y2 - y1
————
x2 - x1
(-1 is x1, 5 is y1) (3 is x2, 13 is y2)
13 - 5 8
——— = — = 2
3 - (-1) 4
2 is the slope
8m+27= 2m-3
take 2m and subtract it from 8m, this gives you 6m. now your equation is 6m+27=-3.
subtract 27 from -3, this will make it 6m=-30.
divide 30 by 6. this gives you your answer. m=-5, because -30 divided by 6 equals -5.
now to test it you can plug -5 into the equation in place of M. 8 times -5 equals -40, plus 27 equals -13. 2 times -5 equals -10 plus -3 equals -13.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question says that it uses 120 feet of fencing material to enclose three sides of the play area. This means there are 3 sides. Putting this into equation, we have something like this.
120 = L + 2W
Where
LW = area.
Again, in order to maximize the area with the given fencing, from the equation written above, then Width, w must be = 30 feet and length, l must be = 60
On substituting, we have
A = LW = (120 - 2W) W
From the first equation, making L the subject of the formula, we have this
L = 120 - 2W, which then we substituted above.
On simplification, we have
L = 120W -2W²
Differentiating, we have
A' = 120 - 4W = 0
Remember that W = 30
So therefore, L = 120 - 2(30) = 60 feet
First you have to find the square root of 90 which is about 9.5
now multiply, divide, add, or subtract 5 from 9.5 to get your answer.
