A rock is dropped from the top of a 2000-foot building. After 1 second, the rock is traveling 32 feet per second. After 2 second

s, the rock
is traveling 64 feet per second. Let y be the rate of descent and be the number of seconds since the rock was dropped.
a. Write a linear equation that relates time x to rate y. (Hint: Use the ordered pairs (1,32) and (2,64).]
b. Use this equation to determine the rate of travel of the rock 15 seconds after it was droppedwas dropped.

Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.

To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:

The equation is y = 32x

B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:

Y = 32(15)

Y = 480

The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.

Let x = speed and y = distance

y = x * 45

y = (x - 4) * 70

45x = 70x - 280

-25x = -280

x = 11.2

Put it back into the first equation:

y = 11.2 x 45

y = 504miles

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

a contractor is building a new subdivision on the outside of a city. he has started work on the first street and is planning for
monitta

The equation of the location of the second street in standard form is

x + y = -6

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line represents the algebraic form of representing the set of points, which together form a line in a coordinate system.

The equation of the line can be formed with the help of the slope of the line and a point on the line.

The general form of the equation of a line with a slope m and passing through the point (x₁,y₁) is given as:

y = mx + b.

Where

m represents the slope of the line.

Given,

Point = ( -5 , -1)

Here we need to find the equation of the location.

For that, first we have to find the slope of the line,

Having two points in the format (x,y), the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

The equation of the street is parallel to the equation of the line in the graph, thus they have the same slope.

So, in street 1 the equation is

=> y =-x +1

And street 2 the equation is  

=> y =-x +b,  

solve for b by plugging in (-5,-1)

=> -1 =-(-5) +b

=> b= -1-5 = -6

=> b = -6

Now apply the value of b on the equation,

Then

=> y = -x -6

=> y + x = -6

So, the equation of the location is x + y = -6.

Find the slope of the line between the points (4,1) and (8,9)
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Use the slope formula which is; 
slope= (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
slope= (9-1)/ (8-4)
Slope= (8)/(4)
Slope= 2
