Answer:

y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of an equation is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of a line that passes through the points (x_1,\: y_1) and (x_2, \: y_2) is m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Using the coordinates (2, -1) and -4,11) as given in the problem, we have slope of this line to be:

m=\frac{11-(-1)}{-4-2}=\frac{12}{-6}=-2.

Now using this slope we've found and any point the line passes through, we can find the y-intercept of this equation:

-1=-2(2)+b, \\ b=3

Therefore, the equation of this line in slope-intercept form is \fbox{$y=-2x+3$}.

Fran cycles at a speed of 5.3 m/s for 5 minutes.<br><br> How far does she travel?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 second Fran cycles 5.3 m.

So we need to work out how many seconds is in 5 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds

5 minutes = 60*5 = 300 seconds

So Fran cycles at a speed of 5.3 m/s in 300 seconds.

1 second = 5.3m

300 seconds = 5.3*300 = 1590m

Hope this helps!
