Answer:

8\frac{ft}{sec}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

Let

x-----> the speed of the elevator

y----> the weight it carries

so

y*x=k

<em>Find the constant k</em>

For x=10 ft/sec, y=400 lb

substitute

k=10*400=4,000

The equation is

y*x=4,000

Find the speed for y=500 lb

substitute in the equation

500*x=4,000

x=4,000/500=8\frac{ft}{sec}

A rectangular solid has sides of 7 cm + 9 cm + 11 cm what<br> is its surface area
alina1380 [7]

Your answer would be: <em>693.</em>

Explanation:

When finding the area in a problem use <em>L×W×H</em>.

That being said, you now have to multiply the <em>L×W×H</em> (7x9x11)

7 × 9 × 11 = <em>693</em>

So the answer would be <em>693</em> because, if you are finding an area you use <em>L×W×H</em> to find your area.

A line includes the points (10,-5) and (-10,-1). What is the equation in slope intercept form?
Elodia [21]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-1-(-5)}{-10-10}\implies \cfrac{-1+5}{-20}\implies \cfrac{4}{-20}\implies -\cfrac{1}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-5)=-\cfrac{1}{5}(x-10) \\\\\\ y+5=-\cfrac{1}{5}x+2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{5}x-3
