Find the slope of the line that passes through (-37, 47) and (26, 32).

1 answer:

4 0

(x1,y1) = (-37,47)
(x2,y2) = (26,32)

Now, m = (47-32) / (26+37)
m = 15 / 63
m = 5/21
So, the slope would be 5/21

Hope this helps!

A ball rolls down an inclined plane such that the distance (in centimeters) that it rolls in t seconds is given by s(t) = 2t^3 +

IRISSAK [1]

The ball's velocity will be represented by the derivative of its distance function:

$s'(t)=6t^2+6t$

Now find the times $t$ for which this is equal to 30, i.e. solve

$6t^2+6t=30\implies t^2+t-5=0$

This has two solutions, $t=-\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}2$ , but only one is positive and falls in the interval $[0,3]$ . So the velocity reaches 30 cm/s when $t=-\dfrac{1-\sqrt{21}}2\approx1.79$ .
