Answer:
1. Convert the equation into point-slope form. (y=mx+b)
-2x+y=8 <em>becomes</em> y=2x+8
2. We can identify 8 as our y-intercept so plot 8 on the y-axis.
3. Start plotting points at 8. The slope 2x (2/1) should be plotted 2 units up and 1 unit right. Keep plotting points like this and you will achieve a linear slope.
Time taken by car A = 6 hr and time taken by car B is 8 hours
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u />
Given:
Distance, d = 480 km
Let x be the time taken by B to reach the destination:
So,
Time taken by car A to reach the destination = x -2
We know:
Distance = speed X time
speed =
On substituting the value we get:
Speed of car A =
Speed of car B =
Since car A travelled 20 km/hr faster than the car B, the equation becomes:
Multiplying both sides by (x - 2) we get:
Therefore, time taken by car A = x - 2
= 8 - 2 hr
= 6 hr
Time taken by car B = 8 hr
