Answer:

y = 2/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you want the equation in point slope form? So assuming that, (0, 5) is the y intercept which is b in the equation y=mx+b (b=5). Now you have to find the slope, paper is really handy (I like drawing a graph out to help me sometimes but an easy way to do it is another equation like this...

y2-y1/x2-x1=

7-5/-5-0=

2/5 --> So 2/5 is the slope, and that finishes the equation

Final equation in point slope form: y=2/5x+5

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!!!! :)

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 33 by 60 each percent is 1 2/3 so 30 is 50% and 3 is 5 50%+5%=55%

25 POINTS!!! The equation y=470x represents the relationship between x, the time that a plane flies in hours, and y, the distanc

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For plane A,

Equation that represents the relationship between time 'x' and distance 'y' is,

y = 470x

By comparing this equation with the slope-intercept form of the equation,

y = mx + b

m = slope = 470

b = 0

Here, slope represents the speed of plane A.

Therefore, speed of plane A = 470 mi per hour

For plane B,

From the given table,

Slope of the graph = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{960-480}{2-1}$

= 480

Speed of plane B = 480 miles per hour

Since, speed of plane B is more than plane A,

Plane B is flying faster.

Consider the following system of equations:

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The system has infinitely solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-\frac{1}{3}x^{2}=-\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{3}y^{2}$

$\frac{1}{3}x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}y^{2}=\frac{5}{6}$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ ----> equation A

The equation A is a circle centered at origin with radius $r=\sqrt{5/2}\ units$

and

$5y^{2} =\frac{25}{2}-5x^{2}$

$5x^{2}+5y^{2} =\frac{25}{2}$

Divide by 5 both sides

$x^{2}+y^{2} =\frac{5}{2}$ ----> equation B

The equation B is a circle centered at origin with radius $r=\sqrt{5/2}\ units$

Equation A and Equation B are the same

Therefore

The system has infinitely solutions

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds.At this rate how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.
