Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 mph is a red herring. If there is a rate of 10 mph, and the trip took 1.5 hours, the 1 hour=10 miles, and the .5=5 miles, add em up and its 15 miles

Answer: the school is 2.5 miles from Sue's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the school from Sue's home.

Time = distance/speed

Sue walked from her home to her school at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. It means that the time it took her to walk to the school is

x/2

She picked up her bicycle and rode back at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. The distance covered is the same and the time spent in riding back home is

x/10

If the round trip took 1.5 hours, it means that

x/2 + x/10 = 1.5

Multiplying through by 10, it becomes

5x + x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 2.5 miles

Consider a circle that has a circumference of 28/3.14 centimeters. What is the area of this circle? Answer fast plz also can you
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A=6.33\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

C=\frac{28}{3.14}\ cm

\pi=3.14

substitute the values

\frac{28}{3.14}=2(3.14)r

r=\frac{28}{19.7192}\ cm

r=1.42\ cm

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

substitute the values

A=(3.14)(1.42)^{2}

A=6.33\ cm^2

Which phrase is the best description of the association between variables X and Y?
Elodia [21]
The variables have a negative association/correlation, because when one value increases (ex: x) the other decreases (see y)
If you would put a line through the dataset most of the points would be quite a bit off the line so the association is only moderate and not strong

so the answer is it is a "moderate negative association"

Find an equation for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+4 and goes through the point (-1,10)
Artemon [7]

The slope of the perpendicular line will be 2. Remember, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal.

So, we can make the equation y=2x+b. We need to find b, and put b in.

To find b, put in the numbers of y and x.

10=2(-1)+b

Solve for b:

10=-2+b\\b=10+2\\b=12

Now replace b in the original equation with 12 and that will be the answer:

The answer is y=2x+12.

Am i doing this right????
Anna35 [415]
You are going in the right direction. For the distance of ST I get √136
√(-5-1)² + (6+4)² =
√(-6)² + (10²) =
√ 36 + 100 =
√136

√34² + √136² =√170²
34 + 136 = 170
170 = 170
