Answer: The slope is -2/1
Step-by-step explanation: We go 2 up and 1 to the left, meaning we get 2 over -1, to simplify, -2/1
Note: When we go down or to the left its negative, when we go up or to the right its positive
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.
After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.
Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²
(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²
250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500
1,690,000 H² = 422,500
H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25
H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
Answer:
p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one root of the eqn. be alpha . Other root is 1/alpha .
We know that product of both roots of an quadratic eqn. is c/a where "c" is the co-efficient of the constant & "a" is the co-efficient of x^2.
Here "c" is p-4 & "a" is 4. And the product of roots is 1 ( ∵ prdouct of a number and its reciprocal is 1 )
