Answer:
a.- slope= 36
Interpretation : The cable car travels 36 meter per minute
b.- y = 36x + 100
c.- 640 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
a.-
Find slope using the slope formula :
Plug in the two given points:
Subtract the numbers :
Reduce the fraction : 36
b.-
Using the given y-interspet (100) and the slope create an equation: y = 36x + 100
c.-
Using the equation you created plug in 15 for x to find the
distance: y = 36 (15) + 100
Multiply the numbers : y = 540 + 100
Add the numbers : y = 640
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x = = 13
