It's (4,2). Can you comment why you're having a struggle with this? I might be able to help you.
The right answer is Nine.
Answer:
8. The coordinates (0,0) represent the fact that when 0 minutes has passed, the horses have gone 0 miles because they hadn't started yet.
9. From the graph, it looks like horse A takes 4 minutes and horse B takes 2.5 minutes (aka 2 minutes and 30 seconds) to travel 1 mile.
10. For A: y = (1/4)x
For B: y = (2/5)x
11. For A: 3 miles
For B: (24/5) miles, or 4 and (4/5) miles.
12. Can't see the entire problem sorry.
Step-by-step explanation:
9. You find this by going to y=1 and look towards the right till you find the point the line intersects with y=1. Then find the x value by finding the corresponding number on the x axis.
10. A linear function will look something like this: y = mx+b, where y is the y value, x is the x value, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Since both lines start from 0, you don't have to write the y-intercept since there's no point in writing +0. To find slope, you find delta y over delta x. Basically just find the difference of two y values and the difference of two x values from the same coordinate in the same order. I know that sounds really confusing but your teacher will probably teach this later on.
11. x represents the time, so just substitute x as 12 in the equation.
A. 3x + y = 13 → 15x + 5y = 65
x - 5y = 15 → x - 5y = 15
16x = 80
16 16
x = 5
x - 5y = 15
5 - 5y = 15
- 5 - 5
-5y = 10
-5 -5
y = -2
(x, y) = (5, -2)
b. 6x - y = 14
2x + y = 12
8x = 26
8 8
x = 3¹/₄
6x - y = 14
6(3¹/₄) - y = 14
19¹/₂ - y = 14
- 19¹/₂ - 19¹/₂
-y = -5¹/₂
-1 -1
y = 5¹/₂
(x, y) = (3¹/₄, 5¹/₂)
c. 3x - 4y = 22 → 15x - 20y = 110
2x + 5y = 7 → 8x + 20y = 28
23x = 138
23 23
x = 6
3x - 4y = 22
3(6) - 4y = 22
18 - 4y = 22
- 18 - 18
-4y = 4
-4 -4
y = -1
(x, y) = (6, -1)
Answer:
12x the second -12x -16
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving systems of equations with 3 variables is very similar
