Answer:
140 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
4 per day for 5 days a week
= 4x5=20 miles a week
For 7 weeks= 20x7= 140 miles
Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
Answer:
y = 4.125x + 496.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the data up as points. Then deal with the points.
Givens
(30,620)
(70,785)
y2 = 785
y1 = 620
x2 = 70
x1 = 30
Formula
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Solution
Slope = (785 - 620)/(70 - 30)
Slope = 165 / 40
Slope = 4.125
===================
Now you need the y intercept. Either one of the two given points will give you that.
y = 620
x = 30
m = 4.125
y = mx + b
620 = 4.125*30 + b
620 = 123.75 + b
620 - 123.75 + b
b = 496.25
