Answer:

It took 8 seconds for the leaf to reach the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the leaf in feet can be found using the function:

y = -3.5*x + 28

where x is the time in seconds the leaf has been in the air.

You want to know how long it took for the blade to reach the ground. That is, the time it took for the blade to reach a height of 0 feet. So, replacing this value in the expression:

0= -3.5*x + 28

and solving you get:

-28= -3.5*x

(-28)÷ (-3.5)=x

8=x

<u><em> It took 8 seconds for the leaf to reach the ground.</em></u>

Answer:

y=-5x

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because slope intercept form is y=mx+b

if m= -5 and b=0 the answer would be

y=-5x+0

simplified it would be

y=-5x

Help with length of hypotenuse ​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

sqrt(10) *x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (3x)^2 = hypotenuse ^2

x^2 + 9x^2 = hypotenuse ^2

10x^2 = hypotenuse  ^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( 10x^2) =  sqrt(hypotenuse  ^2)

sqrt(10) * x = hypotenuse

1) (1 Point) : If-18 - x=9, then -5 +6x = ?
TiliK225 [7]
-167, because if you solve -18-x=9, x will be equal to -27. When you put -27 in place of the x in -5+6x, you get -167. Have a nice day!
