23 inches
x = Mindy's height
2x - 20 = 66
- 20 -20
2x = 46
/2 /2
x = 23
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we can find how far he travels in 55 seconds if he swims at constant speed of 5/3 meters.
5/3 times 55 = approx. 91.66 meters
Therefore Xavier will not quality for the national Swim Meet because he didn't swim 100 meters in 55 seconds
Find the gradient:
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = 6-(-4) / 0-1
m = 10 / -1
m = -10
Slope intercept form:
y = mx + c
Input the values from one of the points to find c (imputing (1,-4) to y=mx+c):
-4 = -10(1) + c
-4 = -10 + c
c = -4 + 10
c = 6
Therefore, the equation is:
y = -10x + 6
