Answer:

Let x = the hours needed for Wanda to catch up to Hector.

Hector has already completed 18 miles. Hector travels at 12 miles per hour.

After x more hours, Hector will travel

18 + 12x miles

Wanda travels at 16 miles per hour. In x hours, she travels

16x miles

If Wanda catches up to Hector, then

16x = 18 + 12x

4x = 18

x = 4.5 hours

Answer: 4 hours, 30 minutes (or 4.5 hours)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -9) and (-9, -7) Write in simplest form.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Undefined slope, vertical line

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Slope = $\frac{-7 -(-9)}{-9-(-9)} = \frac{-7+9}{-9+9} =\frac{2}{0}$ = Undefined

Since the slope is undefined, you would have a vertical line.

NO LINKS OR ASSESSMENT!! Write a rule to describe each transformation. Part 5

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(x, y) → (x + 3, y + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a translation up and right.

Compare the coordinates of corresponding points:

X(-5, -3) and X'(-2, 3)

The difference of coordinates:

-2 - (-5) = 3
3 - (-3) = 6

The rule:

(x, y) → (x + 3, y + 6)
