Answer: y = -x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is 
, so we know the equation is of the form 
.
Substituting in the coordinates (1,6) to find b,
Thus, the equation is y = -x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula the amusement parc use is 100y-39000=55(x-800)
The slope intercept form of a function is wriiten generally as:
y = mx+c
- m is a slope
- c is a constant and represents the y-intercept
- x is a variable
- y is the input of the function
Let's rewrite our equation in the precedent form
- 100y-39000 = 55(x-800)
- 100y -39000 = 55x-44000 add 39000 in both sides
- 100y-39000+39000 = 55x-44000+39000
- 100y = 55x-5000 divide both sides by 100
- y = 0.55x-50
The slope intercept form of this equation is:
y= 0.55x-50
Answer:
I think it <em><u>MAY </u></em>be 36 inches
We will be using the formulas:
speed=distance/time
time=distance/speed
distance=speed×time
First let's find out Diane's rate of swimming. We can measure this by finding the slope (y/x) of a given coordinate on the graph. One point is (10,15), so you do 15/10=1.5m/s
Now for Rick's rate of swimming, just take a pair of values from the table. 12.5/10=1.25m/s
By the way m/s is metres per second for this
So at a constant speed of 1.5m/s, Diane swam 150m in 150/1.5= 100 seconds, or 1 minute 40 seconds
And at a constant speed of 1.25m/s, Rick swam 150m in 150/1.25= 120 seconds, or 2 minutes.
So the difference between their two times is 20 seconds
