Answer: 3 delivers an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
9/3=3
First you have to find the slope with the equation y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 , then once you have found the slope (slope = -2) you simply plug it into the point slope formula. y-0 = -2(x-5) solving it algebraically you should arrive at Y=-2x+10. (the 5 and 0 were plugged in are two of the X and Y points of the line which is why we plugged them into the X and Y values of the equation)
There are various ways in which you could do this problem. I'm going to share what I think is one of the faster ways.
Instead of thinking of jumping from (-1,4) TO (2,-2), Consider the horiz. jump separately and the vertical jump separately. From -1 to 2 is 3 units. Three times that is 9 units. Add 9 to -1, obtaining 8. That's the horiz. component of the terminal point.
From 4 to -2 is -6 units. Mult. that by 3. The result is the vert. comp of the terminal point.
