Answer:
The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is. The X Coordinate is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y), such as (12,5). In this example, the value "12" is the X Coordinate. Also called "Abscissa"
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a vehicle travels 25 miles in 2 hours, determine the average speed of the vehicle in miles per hour.
Work:
In order to find the average mph of the vehicle, you have to divide the distance the vehicle travels in a certain period of time by that amount of time.
So, in this case, the vehicle traveled 25 miles in 2 hours, so you would divide 25 by 2.
25/2 = 12.5
That means, the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 12.5 mph.
Thus, the average speed of the vehicle is 12.5 miles per hour (mph).
We need the exact value of
to find a proper solution, but a general one can still be found. Subtracting the first equation from the second gives
Plug this into either equation and you get
(It's guaranteed that
in this case because that already corresponds to
.)
27.50 x 4 = 110
27.50 x 5 = 137.5
