Answer:

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the table:

time (hours)              distance ( miles)

      0                                   0

      1                                   50

       2                                 100

      3                                  150

      4                                 200

      5                                 250

      6                                 300

      7                                 350

      8                                 400

      9                                 450

This seems like a linear relationship, let's write the general line:

y = a*x + b

That represents this situation, y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours.

In the line equation, a represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

And if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

In this case we have a lot of points for the line, we can use any pair we want (we actually should use a few different pairs to see that the slope is always the same)

So if we use the first two (0, 0) and (1, 50)

the slope is:

a = (50 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 50

Now, if we use the third and fifth points (4, 200) and (5, 250) now the slope is:

a = (250 - 200)/(5 - 4) = 50/1 = 50

So we can conclude that the slope of the equation is a = 50

Then the equation is something like:

y = 50*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use any of the points of the line, for example (0, 0)

This means that when x = 0, y also must be 0, then:

0 = 50*0 + b

0 = b

Then the equation is:

y = 50*x

Now, to answer how many miles the family travelled in the first 3.5 hours, we just need to replace x by 3.5 in the equation:

y = 50*3.5 = 175

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

M∠1=119∘ and m∠2=61∘.<br> What is m∠3?
marin [14]

Answer:

m∠3 = 119°

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles must equal 360° when added together. You have two known angles that are right next to each other. If you add m∠1 and m∠2, 119 + 61, it is equal to 180°. This means that m∠3 and m∠4 must be equal to 180° as well and since there are only two lines, it is safe to assume that opposing angles are the same so m∠1 = m∠3 and m∠2 = m∠4.

Lines m and n are parallel. find the value of x.<br> A. 15<br> B. 20<br> C. 65<br> D. 115
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option B, x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an equation</u>

The values of 65 degrees and (3x + 5) are equal.

65 = 3x + 5

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 5 from both sides</u>

65 - 5 = 3x + 5 - 5

60 = 3x

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 3</u>

60 / 3 = 3x / 3

<em>20 = x</em>

<em />

Answer:  Option B, x = 20

The measure of angle ABD (m∠ABD) is 104°

<h3>Calculating the measure of angles </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the measure of angle ABD

In the diagram,

∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC

Thus,

m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

From the given information,

m∠ABC = 140°

m∠DBC = 36°

∴ 140° =  m∠ABD + 36°

m∠ABD = 140° - 36°

m∠ABD = 104°

Hence, the measure of angle ABD (m∠ABD) is 104°
