Answer:
y=0.3x - 7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
line: y=ax+b
a= Δy ÷ Δx
a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)
a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3
y=0.3x + b
Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).
0.3 × 2 + b = -7
0.6 + b = -7
b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6
So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6
On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.
7/63 can be simplified down to 1/9 because if you were to multiply 7 by 9 you would get 63? or an easier way to do it would be to divide 63 by 7
2x+5y=619
x=10y-3
________
2(10y-3) +5y=619
20y-6+5y=619
25y=619+6
25y=625
y=625/25
y=25
x=10*25-3
x=250-3
x=247
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
= (500 miles) / (6.7 hours)
= (500 / 6.7) (mile/hour)
= 74.63 miles per hour.
I imagine there were quite a number of pit stops included in that.
This is faster than I expected when I first read your question.
That's really gettin' with it for cars in 1911 !
