This is a linear relationship as the rate of change is constant, ie constant velocity. And the slope represents the velocity, and slope is:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(50-25)/(2-1)=25/1
m=25
So the rate of change is 25 mph
Answer: 20 mph
Explanation:
Speed is a physical quantity which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):
In the first part of the problem, the plane flew a distance of d=400 mi in a time of t=2.5 h. The speed of the plane in this case was the difference between the proper speed of the plane, v, and the speed of the wind, w, since the plane flew opposite to the wind. So we can write:
(1)
During the return trip, the plane flew with a speed (v+w), since the wind was on the tail, and it took 2 hours to cover the same distance:
(2)
So we have two equations with two unknown variables. From (1), we get
Substituting into eq.(2)
So, the speed of the wind was 20 mph.
Answer:
$10.75 per scarf
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of scarves.
$96.75 / 9 scarves
$10.75 per scarf
I'm assuming each grid square= 1 square mile.
To do this, you first need to find the total distance.
The first component of his walk takes him from an x-coordinate of 2 to a coordinate of -4 1/2. Since the y-value remains the same, you're not worried about that for this part of the problem. The difference between 2 and -4 1/2 is 6 1/2, so that is your horizontal distance.
Now he walks from the (-4 1/2, -1 3/4) to (-4 1/2, 5 1/4). This time, the x-value is constant, so you only need to worry about the y. As they are on opposite sides of the x-axis, you can add the y-values to get a result of 7, which is your vertical distance.
I just realized I did those distances in reverse order, but it should be ok because the total distance is the same.
To find the total distance, add vertical to horizontal.
6 1/2 + 7 = 13 1/2. This is your total distance.
Now that you have both his speed (given), and total distance, you can find the time it will take him. If he is moving at 4 1/2 mph and the distance is 13 1/2 miles, you can use s=d/t to find the time. 3 1/2 miles divided by the time = 4 1/2 mph. To solve for t, multiply both sides by t and divide that by s, so t= d/s. we know d= 13 1/2 and s= 4 1/2, so t= 13.5 divided by 4.5 = 3. As his speed is in mph, the unit is in hours. Therefore, the answer should be 3 hours.
