Answer:
<h2>The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
According to the graph, the dependent variable is Distance in miles, because it's on the vertical axis. Additionally, the independent variable is time in hours, because it's on the horizontal axis. However, you always put time as independent, because nothing affects time.
To find the equation, we just need to find the slope, using two points (0,0) and (2,40).
Therefore, the equation is , which shows a direct proportion between variables.
Now, in 24 hours, it would travel
It would travel 480 miles.
Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.
Answer:
b =
Step-by-step explanation:
To clear the radicals square both sides
=
( cross- multiply )
(6 - a)(8 + b) = b - 7 ← expand factors on left using FOIL
48 + 6b - 8a - ab = b - 7 ( subtract 48 from both sides )
6b - 8a - ab = b - 55 ( add 8a to both sides )
6b - ab = b - 55 + 8a ( subtract b from both sides )
6b - ab - b = 8a - 55, that is
5b - ab = 8a - 55 ← factor out b from each term on the left side )
b(5 - a) = 8a - 55 ← divide both sides by (5 - a)
b =
