First find slope:

20-0/-8+10= 20/2= 10

Slope=10

next use point slope form and solve it:

y-0=10(x+10)

y=10x+100

b=100

Given are the two points (-10,0) and (-8,20), and equation of the line as y=mx+b.

We can plug the given values in the equation as follows :-

0 = -10m + b .........equation(1)

20 = -8m + b .........equation(2)

Subtracting equation(1) from equation(2)

20 - 0 = (-8m + b) - (-10m + b)

20 = -8m + b + 10m - b

20 = 10m - 8m

20 = 2m

m = 10

Plugging m=10 in the equation(1)

0 = -10(10) + b

0 = -100 + b

b = 100

So final answer is b = 100.

Alice and Bob are currently 1000 feet apart and are both running directly
zepelin [54]

The distance the bird has flown by the time Alice and Bob meet is 40 feet.

Given that the distance between Alice and Bob is 1000 feet and their running speed is 10 feet per second and the speed of bird is 20 feet per second.

Distance equals speed multiplied by time.

Distance between Alice and Bob=1000 feet.

Distance between the bird and Bob=1000 feet.

Speed of Alice and Bob=10 feet per second.

The combined speed of Alice and Bob=20 feet per second.

Since the two are running directly toward each other the distance each will cover at the meeting point is 50 feet (1000/20)

The time covered at the meeting point=20 second (1000/50)

Speed of the bird=20 feet per second.

The distance covered by the bird towards Bob at their meeting point is 40 feet(20 feet*20 seconds).

Hence the distance the bird has flown by the time Alice and Bob meet is 40 feet.

Can someone tell me if I did this right? If it's wrong can you tell me how to do it step by step? Thanks
Lesechka [4]

Hi there!

So first off, here are little definitions you need to know in order to be able to answer your question :

<u>Constant</u> means that the rates of change are the same.

<u>Variable</u> means that the rates of change are different.


But from what I can see, you don't even need those definitions because you got both answers right!


Continue your great work! If there's anything just let me know! :)

Three runners are training for a marathon. One day, they all run about ten miles, each at their own constant speed. Which of the
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Runner 1 has the fastest pace

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (40-0)/(4-0) =40/4 = 10 minutes per mile

The second  is 8.5 minutes per mile

The third we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (90-72)/(10-8) =18/2 = 9 minutes per mile
