y = (1/6)x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes through (0, -3) and (6, -2) and the slope is given by

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (-2 -(-3))/(6 - 0)

= 1/6

so the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by

y = mx + b

Using the value of m we just obtained and using the point (0, -3) to find b, we get

(-3) = (1/6)(0) + b ---> b = -3

Therefore, the equation takes the form

y = (1/6)x - 3

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

It travel at the rate of 500 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ewans flight is scheduled to travel 1,750 miles in 3.5 hours.

Now, to find the rate it travel per hour.

Distance = 1,750 miles.

Time = 3.5 hours.

So, to get the rate we put formula:

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$Speed=\frac{1750\ miles}{3.5\ hours}$

$Speed=500\ miles\ per\ hour$

Therefore, it travel at the rate of 500 miles per hour.

A container has 12 and 3/4 cups of lemonade .asher gives each of his classmates 7/8 of a cup of lemonade . He gives away all of

Agata [3.3K]

Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

Solution:

Given that, A container has 12 and $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates $\frac{7}{8}$ of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade = $12\frac{3}{4}$

$\rightarrow 12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 3}{4} = \frac{51}{4}$

cups of lemonade received by each classmate = $\frac{7}{8}$

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate

$\rightarrow \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{51}{4} \times \frac{8}{7}$

$\rightarrow 14.57$

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students
