Since the scale is 15 miles per inch all you need to do is multiply.
2in(15)=30
The cities are 30 miles apart.

Write an equation in point -slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

C) y+2=-1/2(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=slope & (x1, y1) is a point on the line

m=-1/2

y-(-2)=-1/2(x-(-4))

y+2=-1/2(x+4)

SOLUTION: a diver jumps from a diving board that is 24 feet above the water. the height of the diver is given by h= -16(t-1.5)(t

lara [203]

Answer:

The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Required (Missing from the question)

When will the diver hit the water?

To do this, we simply solve for t

When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)

So, substitute 0 for h in $h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Divide both sides by -16

$\frac{0}{-16} =\frac{-16(t-1.5)(t+1)}{-16}$

$\frac{0}{-16} =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$(t-1.5)(t+1)=0$

Split

$t - 1.5 = 0$ or $t + 1 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 1.5$ or $t = -1$

But time (t) can not be negative.

So:

$t = 1.5$

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is -88

Flauer [41]

Hello there!

Make it an equation:

x + x + 2 = -88
2x + 2 = -88
2x = -88 + 2
2x = -86
x = -86/2
x = -43.

The numbers are -43 and -45.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Write the equation of the line that passes

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The slope is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

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

$\displaystyle \frac{(-9)-(-5)}{1-0}=\frac{-4}{1}=-4$

Therefore, the slope is -4, and the correct answer is -4.

Hope this helps!
