Answer:

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If this line passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) then the slope can be written as:

a = (a - c)/(b - d)

Here y will represent the distance between Jacob and his house, and the variable x represents the time that he has ben driving.

In this case, we know that after driving for 5 hours, he is 112km from home.

Then we can write this point as (5h, 112km)

We also know that after 7 hours he is 15km from home.

Then we can write this point as (7h, 15km)

Then the slope of this function will be:

a = (15km - 112km)/(7h - 5h) = -48.5 km/h

Then the equation is:

y = -(48.5 km/h)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can replace the values of one of the points, for example in the point (7h, 15km)

This means that we need to replace x by 12h, and y by 15km, then we get:

15km = -( 48.5 km/h)*7h + b

15km + ( 48.5 km/h)*7h = b = 354.5 km

then the equation will be:

y = (-48.5 km/h)*x + 354.5 km

Now we want to answer: How long had Jacob been driving when he was 209 km from  home?

Then we need to only replace y by 209km, and solve for x:

209km = (-48.5 km/h)*x + 354.5 km

209km - 354.5 km = (-48.5 km/h)*x

-145.5km =  (-48.5 km/h)*x

-145.5km/( -48.5 km/h) = x = 3h

So he is 209km away from his home after driving for 3 hours.

kirill [66]
If you're finding diameter or radius based on circumference, use the formula C = πd. You would divide the circumference by pi to get the diameter, then divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.

If you're finding diameter or radius based on area, use the formula A = πr^2. You would divide the area by pi, then find the square root of that value which is the radius. Just multiply the radius by 2 to find diameter.

Can someone help me on this ? its Algebra 1 on exponents
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, V=lwh. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3} into the formula for volume. You get (x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} ), and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get \frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} =  \frac{x^3}{6}. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that \frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}. For your final answer, you write 6^{-1}x^3. This corresponds to answer choice B.

Novosadov [1.4K]
One meter is 3.28 feet, so anything shorter than that. A basketball, maybe a very young child?
