Answer:
The slope of the equation is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground. He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute.
To find : What is the slope ?
Solution :
Let x be the number of minutes taken to dig the ground.
He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute i.e. '-3x'
Let y is the total distance travel to dig the ground.
Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground.
The equation form is 
Comparing with general slope form i.e. 
where m is the slope.
The slope of the equation is -3.
It would help you to make a table because say your answer is 8 pieces is 1 minute and then the next question is how long wouls it take sam to cut 24 pieces you would use the table with you first answer and then multiple both numbers 3 times to give you your answer. Its really just a way to have more organized answers
Divide -3
-3/-3a = 15/-3
a = -5
Answer:
i did the first
Step-by-step explanation:
1st way
Standard form: a(X-h)²+k = ( -2/3X² -16/3X -32/3) +32/3 -17/3 = -2/3(X +4)² +5
y = -2/3*X^2-16/3*X-17/3
X = -4 ±√( 15/2) = -6.7386, or -1.2614
Axis of symmetry: X= -4; Vertex (maximum)=(h,k)=( -4, 5); y-intercept is (0,-5.66666666667)
two real roots: X=-1.2613872124776866 and -6.738612787477313
First, combine like terms.
12y+6=6y+12 turns into
12y-6y=12-6, which is
6y=6. Now divide both sides by 6.
y=1
now do a quick check (cause that's always a good idea).
12(1)+6=6(1)+12
12+6=6+12
18=18 ; )
