What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) and (-4, 3)?

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000

ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

Find the value of k

For the point (4,2268)

$k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph$

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

so

The linear equation is

$y=567x$

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The point (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.

Basile [38]

So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 × x × y
This can be written as 2x × y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.

Shane worked 8 hours per day for 3 days. Andrew worked 6 hours per day for 4 days. If the normal working week is 36 hours, which

creativ13 [48]

Shane:
8 x 3 = 24 Because it is 8h per day for 3 days. Per is like times
24h out of 36 24/36 GCF is 12 divide to and bottom by 12
24 / 12 is 2 36 / 12 is 3 2/3 Shane worked for 2/3 of 36h
Percentage: 100% / 3 (because there is 3 parts)= 33.333333333333
33.33333333333 x 2 (because it is there is 2 parts needed) = 66.6666666666%
Shane has worked for 66.6666666666% of 36 hours

Andrew:
4 x 6 = 24
Hey did you realise, the 24 is exactly the same! So the fraction would still be 2/3 of 36, and so on, there percentage is still the same, it's still 66.6666666666%

Answer: Both of Andrew and Shane has worked for the exact same time, therefore they have the exact same percentage

Write the equation of the ellipse with foci at (-2,2) and (4,2) and major axis of length 10 *

Luda [366]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Foci (-2, 2) (4, 2)

Major axis = 10

Process

1.- Plot the foci to determine if the ellipse is vertical or horizontal. See the picture below.

From the graph we conclude that it is a horizontal ellipse.

2.- Determine the foci axis (distance between the foci)

2c = 6

c = 6/2

c = 3

3.- Determine a

2a = 10

a = 10/2

a = 5

4.- Determine b using the Pythagorean theorem

a² = b² + c²

-Solve for b

b² = a² - c²

b² = 5² - 3²

b² = 25 - 9

b² = 16

b = 4

5.- Find the center (1, 2) From the graph, it is in the middle of the foci

6.- Find the equation of the ellipse

$\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{5^{2}} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{4^{2}} = 1$

$\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1$
