Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is described as:
https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f(x)%20%3D%20ax%20%2B%20b
When the value of x = 0, then you're left with
https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f(x)%20%3D%20b
In this question, the speed of sound is the linear function while the temperature is the independent variable. When T = 0, you're left with
https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S(0)%20%3D%20331.4
Which means the speed of sound in air when temperature is 0°C is 331.4m/s.
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
