Answer:
Chris is correct. (Choice letter C)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can eliminate choices A and B from the get-go because the problem stated that both hikers are traveling at 1mi/hr. This means that the slope of the equation would equate to 1, so just x.
That leaves us with C and D. The two equations both have a slope of 1, but C has a y-intercept of -2 and D has a y-intercept of 2, which represents the starting location of the second hiker. The first hiker is the one who is ahead by 2 miles, so it can't be D. This leaves us with choice C. Chris is correct.
Answer:
function g is positive over (-∞, ∞)
function g has a y-intercept of (0,4)
function g decreasing over the interval (-∞, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Choice C) -1/3
The given line has a slope of -1/3 so anything parallel to that given line is also going to have an equal slope (of -1/3)
To find the slope of that line shown, notice how we drop down 1 unit and the move to the right 3 units when we go from the left point to the right point. Alternatively, you can use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to get the same result.
It is less because 8(2/8) would equal 2
