Answer:
y = 2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line,
y = mx + b,
m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
Let's look at Adriana's equation and understand the parts:
y = 2x + 4
y = mx + b
m = slope = 2; b = y-intercept = 4
Now let's look at the description of Henry's equation.
He has the same slope as Adriana, so for Henry, m = 2 also.
His y-intercept is 1 less than Adriana's, so it is 1 less than 4. Henry's y-intercept is 3.
Now that we know that for Henry, m = 2, and b = 3, we can write his equation.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 3
Answer: y = 2x + 3
The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
X = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours
y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours
x + y = 200
5x + 15y = 1950
you find the first variable in one of the equations, then subsitute the result into the other equation. your answer would be:
the mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged $105 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $95 per hour.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
28 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w stand for the number of miles Derrick runs each week. Then after 4 weeks of training, he wants the total mileage to be 100 miles.
16 + 3w = 100
3w = 84 . . . . . . . subtract 16
w = 28 . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Derrick will run 28 miles each week to achieve his training goal.
