Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 200 miles

B rate = x

A Rate = x + 20

Each has traveled two hours

The total distance each travels after two hours is 200 miles (they pass each other).

d = r * t

2*x + 2*(x + 20) = 200      Remove the brackets

2x + 2x + 40 = 200           Combine like terms

4x + 40 = 200                   Subtract 40 from each side

4x = 200 - 40                  

4x = 160                           Divide by 4

x = 160/4

x = 40

There B's rate is 40 miles / hour

A's rate is 40 + 20 = 60 miles / hour

Let f(x)=x2−3x−4 . What is the average rate of change from x = 7 to x = 10? Question 6 options: 24 14 66 42
Fed [463]
Just find the slope between the points

basically find (f(10)-f(7))/(10-7)

f(7)=7^2-3(7)-4=49-21-4=24
f(10)=10^2-3(10)-4=100-30-4=66

slope=(66-24)/(10-7)=42/3=14
average rate of change is 14

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-4, -1) and is perpendicular to the line y= 4/3x+6.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

y = (-3/4)x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. In other words, if the slope of one line is a/b, then the slope of the line perpendicular to it would be -b/a.

Here, the given slope is 4/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/4.

We are given a point (-4, -1) and we know the slope, so we can find the point-slope form of the line. Point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope. Here, x1 = -4 and y1 = -1 and m = -3/4. So:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = (-3/4) * (x - (-4)) = (-3/4) * (x + 4)

y + 1 = (-3/4)x + (-3/4) * 4 = (-3/4)x - 3

y = (-3/4)x - 3 - 1

y = (-3/4)x - 4

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation 8x - 2y = 5?
ivann1987 [24]
Y=mx+b is the formula you need to get it in
start with the equation 8x-2y=5
so we want to get y by itself and everything else on the right side of the equation. to do this first subtract -8x from the left side and put it on the right side. this step would look like this:
8x-2y=5
-8x-2y=5 -> -2y=5-8x
-------------

next take and divide -2 from both sides of the equation. this would look like this:
-2y= 5 -8x
÷-2y=÷-2÷-2 -> y= -5/2 +4x
-------------------
so your new equation is y=4x-5/2 y=mx+b tells you the slope and y-intercept. m=slope and b=y-intercept. so in this case 4 is your slope and -5/2 is your y-int

Marc's workout consists of swimming and practicing yoga. While swimming he burns 7 calories per minute, and while practicing yog
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

7x + 5y ≥ 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Swimming burns = 7 calories per minute

Yoga burns = 5 calories per minute

At least calories burn = 400

Total minutes of swimming = x

Total minutes of yoga = y

Find:

Inequality

Computation:

7 calories per minute(Total minutes of swimming) + 5 (Total minutes of yoga) ≥ 400

7x + 5y ≥ 400
