Answer:
The x intercept is (12,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5x+4.5y=18 Subtract 1.5 x from both sides of the equation
4.5y=-1.5x+18 Divide both sides of the equation by 4.5
4.5y/4.5=-1.5x/4.5+18/4.5
y=-1/3x+4
The slope is -1/3
The y intercept is (0,4)
To find the x intercept, yet y=0 and solve.
1.5x+4.5y=18
1.5x+4.5(0)=18
1.5x=18 Divide both sides of the equation by 1.5
1.5x/1.5=18/1.5
x=12
Answer:
1) 28.4 miles per gallon
2) 34 miles per gallon
3) the red car
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue car:
Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline
Red car:
Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline
We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:
Blue car:
(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon
Red car:
(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon
The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline {and thats about it!}
Answer:
y=-2/3*x+1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x+4y=-12
put into y=mx+b line equation
4y=6x-12
y=(6/4)x-(12/4)
y=(3/2)x-4
slope is 3/2
to find perpendiular line slope take the negative inverse.
-(2/3) = slope of perpendicular line
use line equation and solve for y-intercept (b)
3=(-2/3)*(-4)+b
3=8/3+b
b= 9/3-8/3 = 1/3 : 3 = 9/3 to allow for subrtaction of fractions.
