A portion of a map with cities a and b is shown.The map uses a scale of 1 inch to 30 miles. A new map has a scale of 2 inches=15

Alina [70]

Answer:

22.5miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For Map 1;

1 inches = 30miles

For Map 2:

2 inches = 15miles

1 inches = x

2x = 1 *15

x = 15/2

x = 7.5miles

This means that 1 inch represents 7.5miles on Map 2'

The distance between the two cities in miles = 30miles - 7.5miles

The distance between the two cities (in miles) = 22.5miles

What is the system of inequalities associated with the following graph?

slamgirl [31]

One line passes through the points (-2,3) and (0,-3) , it means the y intercept is b=-3

and slope m = $\frac{(-3-3)}{0-(-2)}$

$= \frac{-6}{2}= -3$

So the equation of line will be $y= -3x -3$

And the inequality should be $y\geq -3x-3$

Or $3x +y \geq -3$

And the other line passes through (-2,3) and (0,2)

So the y intercept is b=2

and the slope is $m= \frac{2-3}{0-(-2)} = \frac{-1}{2}$

So the equation of line will be $y= \frac{-1}{2} x +2\\and the inequality should be y \leq \frac{-1}{2} x+2$

$2y +x \leq 4$

So answer is $3x +y \geq -3, x+2y\leq 4$
