Answer:

See attachment for plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y =2x$

$R =+2$ --- increment in the rate

First, we need to model the new rate

A linear equation is:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = rate$

Compare $y =2x$ and $y = mx + b$ . we have:

$m =2$

The above represents the previous rate.

The new rate:

$R =+2$

Rewrite as:

$R = m+2$

$R = 2+2$

$R = 4$

So, the model is:

$y = Rx$

$y = 4x$

<u>The plot at 1 and 2 minutes</u>

When $x = 1$

$y = 4x = 4 * 1 = 4$

When $x = 2$

$y = 4x = 4 * 2 = 8$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) =(1,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) =(2,8)$

<em>Whether she moves backwards or forward, the distance covered remains the same</em>

Consider the equation

earnstyle [38]

a) true

b) false

c) true

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>let's determine the first statement</h3><h3>to determine x-intercept </h3><h3>substitute y=0</h3>

so,

8x-2y=24

8x-2.0=24

8x=24

x=3

therefore

the first statement is <u>true</u>

let's determine the second statement

<h3>to determine y-intercept </h3><h3>substitute x=0</h3>

so,

8x-2y=24

8.0-2y=24

-2y=24

y=-12

therefore

the second statement is <u>False</u>

to determine the third statements

<h3>we need to turn the given equation into this form</h3><h2>y=mx+b</h2><h3>let's solve:</h3>

8x-2y=24

-2y=-8x+24

y=4x-12

therefore,

the third statement is also <u>true</u>

2. Three points of a parallelogram are (4, 3), (-4, 3), and (2, 3). Find the coordinates of the 4th point to complete the parall

antiseptic1488 [7]

Parallelograms have equal and parallel opposite sides

<em>The coordinates of the 4th point is (-2,3)</em>

Let the parallelogram be ABCD, such that:

$A = (4,3)$

$B =(-4,3)$

$C = (2,3)$

A and B have the same y-coordinates, while their x-coordinates are additive inverse

This means that:

The y-coordinates of point C and point D will be the same, while their x-coordinates will be additive inverse.

<u>For point C</u>

We have:

$x = 2$

$y = 3$

<u>For point D</u>

The coordinates would be:

$x =- 2$

$y = 3$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-2,3)
