Answer:
y = 0.87x + 0.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Euros as a function of dollars means that euros is y and dollars are x.
We are given 2 points: (4, 3.5) and (10, 8.72)
slope = (8.72 - 3.5)/(10 - 4)
slope = 5.22/6 = 0.87
y = 0.87x + b
3.5 = 0.87(4) + b
b = 0.02
y = 0.87x + 0.02
I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win.
distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
1600 = 10 t
Divide both sides by 10
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds
For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)
The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)
Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.
<span> -8x=72-16y
4x=-92+16y <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2: 8x = - 184 + 32y
Now combine the following, column by column:
</span><span> -8x= 72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
0 = -112 + 16y. Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.
Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:
<span>4x=-92+16(7) => 4x = -92 + 112 = 20. Then x = 5.
Solution is 5, -7 (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>
