You seem to have forgotten to add in the y-intercept or slope. For the information you have given, it could be any equation, so long as it passes through the point (2, -1), such as
y = -x + 1
We have a right triangle with
a = one leg = 28
b = other leg = 21
c = hypotenuse = 5x
use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2 = c^2) and solve for x
a^2+b^2 = c^2
28^2+21^2 = (5x)^2
784+441 = 25x^2
1225 = 25x^2
25x^2 = 1225
(25x^2)/25 = 1225/25
x^2 = 49
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(49)
|x| = 7
x = 7 or x = -7
Since the hypotenuse has length 5x meters, this means
5x = 5*7 = 35
or
5x = 5(-7) = -35
Toss out the negative length as it makes no sense.
The only value of x is x = 7
Therefore the final answer is x = 7
Answer: 12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation: Since there are 2 people and 24 minutes total, you have to divide the total time by the amount of people. The equation will be 24=2x, so divide 24 by 2 and you get 12
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
because half of 12 is 6 and its square is 36
