Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Both horses travel 0 miles in 0 minutes. We can see this on the graph where both lines start at the 0 in the bottom left corner. For the purpose of writing the equations this also shows us that the y-intercept is 0. In a slope-intercept equation, y=mx+b, that number is the b. b is zero in both equations, so we don't need to write anything for that.
For horse A, we can see on the graph that at 4 minutes, horse A has traveled 1 mile. Also, confirming this rate, at 8 minutes, it went 2 miles. This will help us find the rate. The rate will be the number we fill in for the m in the y=mx+b equation. Horse A goes 1mile every 4 minutes. That is a rate of 1/4 miles per minute. So Horse A's equation will be
y = (1/4)x You can make it more *intuitive* possibly by using m for miles and t for time instead, like this:
m = (1/4)t
Horse B is a little bit faster, and you can see this bc the line is a little bit steeper. It goes 2 miles in 5 minutes (confirm you can see it goes 4 miles in 10 minutes)
So Horse B's equation is
y = (2/5)x
or miles = (2/5)time
Mathematically, the equations are the same whether you use x,y or m,t
If Horse A runs for 12 minutes then it will run
miles = (1/4)minutes
miles = (1/4)(12)
miles = 3
If Horse B runs for 12 minutes, then it will run
miles = (2/5)minutes
miles = (2/5)12
miles = 4.8
Answer:
There's no direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position
I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)
*
**
***
****
*****
Represent the line number with y and it's position with x
On line 1:
y = 1, x = 1
On line 2:
y = 2, x = 3
On line 3:
y = 3, x = 6
On line 4:
y = 4, x = 10
On line 5:
y = 5, x = 15
Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.
Direct variation is represented by
y = kx
Or
kx = y
Where k is the constant of variation
For line 1:
Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x
k * 1 = 1
k = 1
For line 2:
Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x
k * 3 = 2
Divide through by 3
k = ⅔
Note that the values of k in both computations differ.
This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.
Answer:
9
in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as
A = 
( s is the length of a side )
Here s = 6, thus
A = 
= 
= 9 in²
