-15+22=m- 8 thanks for the help

The slope, m, is given by the equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points on the graph. Thus:
m = (-18-(-18))/(-15-12)
= (-18+18)/-27
= 0/27 = 0
Therefor the slope is 0

It takes Lucas 3 hours to cycle from his home to his friends village but if travels 5 mph slower, it will take him 1.5 hours lon

Alika [10]

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the distance from Lucas home to friend's village is x miles

The time taken to cycle from Lucas home to friend's village is 3 hrs....t₁

The time taken if travelling at a 5 mph reduced speed is 1.5 hrs longer......t₂

t₂=4.5 hrs

t₁= 3 hrs

Speed for cycle in first instance, where t₁=3 hrs and distance is x miles

s₁=d/t = x/3 mph

Speed for cycle if travelling at a slower speed,

$s=\frac{x}{3}-5$

Time taken in the second instance when travelling at a slower speed

= $\frac{x}{\frac{x}{3}-5 }=4.5\\ \\\frac{3x}{x-15} =4.5\\\\\\3x=4.5(x-15)\\\\3x=4.5x-67.5\\\\\\67.5=4.5x-3x\\\\\\67.5=1.5x\\\\\\67.5/1.5=x\\\\\\45=x$

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

Fully explain why an inefficient resource allocation leads an economy to produce at a point inside its production possibilities

Stella [2.4K]

Production possibilities frontier, PPF, is defined as a representation of the point at which a country’s economy is most efficiently producing its goods and services. Efficient production means allocating its resources in the best way possible.
<span>
The points in the PPF shifts outward. The more efficient production is the more the PPF shifts outward. With this in mind, any point found inside the PPF means that there is inefficient resource allocation. If the PPF shifts inward, it means that the efficiency production is regressing and available resources are not fully used to its potential which will lead to a downward turn of the economy.
