Ur independent variable is ur x values....ur dependent variable is ur y values..so if hrs are on the x axis, then ur independent values are ur hrs (or time)....and ur dependent values are ur distance.

(0,0),(2,50)
slope = (50 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 50/2 = 25

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 25
and since u have point (0,0), ur y int (b) = 0
so ur equation is y = 25x + 0 which is written as y = 25x...which is basically saying that he travels 25 miles per hr

how far will he travel in 24 hrs.....so sub in 24 for x
y = 25(24)
y = 600 miles

in summary : The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 25x and the dragonfly will fly 600 miles.

Answer:

Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, you can solve this easily by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -2 in order to cancel out terms when adding to the second equation.

2) Then, add the new set of equations together. However, everything cancels out, bringing us to 0 = 0. This means that the lines the equations make must be the same. Thus, all real numbers must make this equation true, meaning that there are infinite solutions.
