It would take 5 yrs. for both trees to be the same height.
Answer:
y=-2/9 x – 9
Step-by-step explanation:
It really is simple translation because this is written in y=mx+b, where b is the given y-intercept. From there, just subtract what is needed to go down or add what is need to go up.
y=-2/9 x – 7 – 2
.:y=-2/9 x – 9
Answer:
See attached for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
We're going to plot sea level as y=0 and a depth of 8 meters as y=-8.
The problem statement tells you the initial point (x=0) is at normal ocean depth (y=-8), so the first point you put into your sine tool is ...
(x, y) = (0, -8)
The buoy takes 16 seconds to go from a high point to a low point, so the time to the first high point is half that, or x=8 seconds. That high point is 5 meters above its average depth, so is at y=-3.
The second point you will put into your sine tool is ...
(x, y) = (8, -3)
Answer:
x=10, y=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3y=5, y= 5-x; change y to 5-x:
2x+3(5-x)=5
2x-3x+15=5
-x=5-15
-x=-10
x=10
=>y=5-x=5-10=-5
