This is a proportional relationship. So any example that shows as x increases, y decreases.
A real life example would be where
x=time i let the pool drain
y=amount of water left over
As I let the time I let the pool drain increase, the amount of water left in the pool decreases.
Answer:
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps
Explanation:
First, we will need to convert the minutes to seconds.
5 minutes = 5 * 60 = 300 seconds
Now, we know that she can run 1/3 of a lap in 40 seconds. To know the number of laps that she can run in 300 seconds, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
40 seconds .................> 1/3 laps
300 seconds ................> ?? laps
number of laps = (300 * 1/3) / 40
number of laps = (100) / 40
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps
Hope this helps :)
The answer would be b - associate w it
Try writing it in point-slope form and you will see why you have a problem.
slope m is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-6)/(-6 - -6) = -4/0
The denominator has a zero, so it is undefined.
Since the point-slope form requires "m" to be defined, you can't write the equation of the line using point-slope form.
