Step-by-step explanation:
As
- The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and
- y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.
so
x y
2 1
3 5
4 9
5 13
6 17
and so on
From the table:
As the slope-intercept form of the line is
putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.
So putting and in the slope-intercept form of the line
Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:
<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>

Mary has 6 cakes, she gives 3/4 of the cakes away. How many cakes does Mary have?
the greatest is 10 and the least is one but I don't know for sure but I don't know if that what you looking for
