(9-15)/(-2+4)= -6/2 = -3
-3 is the slope
Answer:
Point B
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines given:
- y= 2/5x - 1/2
- y= -1/3x +2/3
x coordinate of intersection of given lines is:
- 2/5x - 1/2= -1/3x+2/3
- 2/5x+1/3x= 2/3 +1/2
- 6/15x+5/15x= 4/6+3/6
- 11/15x=7/6
- x= 7*15/11*6
- x= 35/22
For this value of x, the value of y is:
- y= 2/5*35/22 - 1/2
- y=14/22- 1/2
- y= 3/22
As per graph point (35/22, 3/22) is point B
Answer: Hi!
So first, I'm going to convert "350 below ground level" to -350, as this is what "below ground level" represents.
Now, we should find the total distance traveled. Take the absolute value of -350 (350) and add it to 10, the metres above ground level. This is 360.
We already know the rate of travel; 6m/min. All we have to do now is divide the total distance (360) by the rate of travel (6)!
360 ÷ 6 = 60
So, it took 60 minutes, or one hour, for the elevator to travel down the shaft!
Hope this helps!
Answer is 360,,,,,,,,,........
