Answer:

a. Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. The flower bed is 2,400 ft from the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Mathematically, the distance will be ;

the speed * time taken

Given that he stays a total of 17 minutes away from the hive and he stayed 15 minutes in the flower bed, the time it used on the flower bed will be 17 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 minutes

So the distance from the flower bed to the hive is;

Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. We want to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive

That will be;

20 ft per second * 2 minutes (120 seconds)

= 20 * 120 = 2,400 ft

Write the slope intercept
Papessa [141]
Find the slop equation.

Slope: -3

Y-intetrcept: -3
y =  - 3x - 3
Now write it as an inuquality.

It's shaded to the left and the line is not fully filled in. Which means that whatever "y" is, it's Less than the and equal to the slope.
y \leqslant  - 3x - 3
Hope this helps :)
