Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jolene speed =40 mph

Samantha speed=50mph

let x be the time Samantha needs to be ahead of Jolene

40x+25=50x

25=50x-40x

25=10x

x=2.5 hours

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$

I hope this helps!

X + y = 3 -2x + 4y = 6

Finger [1]

I'm assuming this is a system of equations you want solved so,

x = -y + 3

-2(-y+3)+4y = 6
2y - 6 + 4y = 6
6y = 12
y = 2

x + 2 = 3
x = -1

(-1,2)

The area of rectangular field is 1440 sq meters and perimeter is 152 metre. Out of length or breadth which one is to be decrease

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If Length is decreased by 10% then it would become a square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of Rectangular field = 1440 sq. m

Perimeter = 152 m.

We need to find which one needs to be decreased by what percentage to make it a square.

Solution:

Let length be denoted by 'l'.

Also Let width be denoted by 'w'.

Now we know that Area of rectangular field is given by Length times width.

framing in equation form we get;

$l\times w = 1440 \ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Also we know that Perimeter of rectangular field is given by 2 times sum of Length and width.

framing in equation form we get;

$2(l+w) =152\\\\l+w =\frac{152}{2}\\\\l+w=76\\\\l=76-w \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Now Substituting equation 2 in equation 1 we get;

$l\times w =1440\\\\(76-w)w=1440\\\\76w-w^2=1440\\\\w^2-76w+1440 =0$

Now we will find the root by factorizing the same we get;

$w^2-36w-40w+1440=0\\\\w(w-36)-40(w-36)=0\\\\(w-36)(w-40) =0 \\$

Now solving for each to find the value of 'w' we get;

$w-36 =0\\\\w=36\\\\also \\\\w-40=0\\\\w=40$

So We can say that;

Width = 36 m and Length = 40 m

Now we need to find out of length or breadth which one is to be decreased by what percentage to make it a square.

We know that square has all sides same.

So from the data we found we can say that if length is decreased by 4 then length and breadth(width) both will be equal.

So to find percentage decreased we will divide length to be decreased by total length and then multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percentage decreased = $\frac{4}{40}\times 100 = 10\%$

Hence If Length is decreased by 10% then it would become a square.

The HCF of two number is 40 and their product is 52800. find their lcm

Dima020 [189]

Answer: 1320

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

HCF of two numbers = 40

Product of two numbers = 52800

To find,

LCM of two numbers =?

Formula required,

HCF × LCM = product of two numbers

Calculation,

Using formula

→ HCF × LCM = product of two numbers

→ ( 40 ) × LCM = 52800

→ LCM = 52800 / 40

→ LCM = 1320

Therefore,

LCM of two numbers would be 1320.
