\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear equations..

Here given value of x= 5 and y =1 , so we get as,

5a + b = 38 and 5b - a = 8

so, now we multiply equation no. 2 by 5 all over.

==> 25b - 5a = 40....(1)

hence adding new equation and equation no. 1

26b = 78

b = 78/26

hence b = 3 , and a = 7

Each set of three points is collinear. Find each missing x- or y-value. Enter each answer to the nearest hundredth. (6, 10.2), (
Dima020 [189]

Considering that the points are part of the same linear function, the missing x-value is given by:

a. 1.1.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Given two points, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>. In this problem, we are given points (6, 10.2) and (1.5, 3.45), hence the slope is:

m = (10.2 - 3.45)/(6 - 1.5) = 1.5.

Hence:

y = 1.5x + b.

When x = 6, y = 10.2, hence we use it to find b as follows:

10.2 = 1.5(6) + b

9 + b = 10.2

b = 1.2.

Hence the function is:

y = 1.5x + 1.2.

The value of x when y = 2.85 is given by:

y = 1.5x + 1.2.

2.85 = 1.5x + 1.2.

1.5x = 1.65.

x = 1.65/1.5

x = 1.1.

Hence option A is correct.

Claire jogs 6 miles per hour and Megan jogs 5 miles per hour. they start together at their campsite and jog to an outpost 18 mil
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

16.364 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour

Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour

Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles

Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours

Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours

The time they meet will be equal

Claire distance= 18 + x

Megan distance = 18-x

Claire time =( 18+x)/6

Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5

(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5

5(18+x)= 6(18-x)

90 +5x = 108-6x

11x=18

X=18/11

X=1.636 Miles

So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636

= 16.364 miles

(-2,1); perpendicular to y= - 2/5x -4<br><br> Help explain step by step?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

  y = (5/2)x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a slope (coefficient of x) of -2/5. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:

  -1/(-2/5) = 5/2

Since you are given a point you want the line to go through, the point-slope form of the equation of the line is useful. That form for slope m and point (h, k) is ...

  y = m(x -h) +k

For your slope m=5/2 and point (h, k) = (-2, 1), the equation of the line is ...

  y = 5/2(x +2) +1

  y = 5/2x +6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
