Answer:
D. Henry's started farther, went faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry's balloon traveled 18 additional miles (from 30 to 48) in 2 hours, so had a speed of 18mi/(2h) = 9 mi/h. The equation for his position could be ...
y = 9x +30 . . . . . 9 is the rate of change; 30 is the initial value
__
Comparing this to Tasha's position function, we see her balloon started 20 miles from town and traveled 8 miles per hour.
__
Henry started farther from town and traveled faster.
A)
The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (2, 5.1) and (-1, -0.5). Substitute:
Therefore we have:
Put the coordinates of the point (-1, -0.5) ot the equation:
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>add
to both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 2</em>
Answer:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B)
We have the points (-2, 3) and (3, -4).
Calculate the slope:
Therefore we have:
Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 3) to the equation of a line:
<em>subtract
from both sides</em>
