A hot air balloon is at an elevation of 1,250 feet. Its elevation begins to change at a rate of -22.5 feet per minute. How many

minutes will it take the balloon to descend to an elevation of 935 feet? Use the Distance Formula: d = rt

Let y represent the number of feet and x represent the number of minutes. Convert 22 1/2 to decimal form: 22.5

y = -22.5x

Plug in -315 for y

-315 = -22.5x

divide both sides by -22.5

14 = x

It will take 14 minutes.

What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (8, 12) and has a slope of _2?

Crank

The function has a slope : m = - 2 and contains the point ( 8, 12 ).
y = m x + b
12 = ( - 2 ) * 8 + b
12 = - 16 + b
b = 12 + 16
b = 28
The slope-intercept form of the function is:
y = - 2 x + 28

In the first quadrant you start at (7,3) and move 5 unit left

AveGali [126]

Answer:

That would be (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we're moving left in the coordinate plane, we are subtracting the x-coordinate by how much distance we move.

In this case, 7-5=2, so the new x-coordinate is 2, but the y-coordinate doesn't change since we're going horizontally and not vertically.

Is 16% of 40 the same as 40% of 60? Explain your reasoning.

o-na [289]

No 16% of 40 is 32/5 where 40%of 60 is 24.
Hope this helps.

1. Which point on the axis satisfies the inequality y

grigory [225]

Answer:

1) Point $(1,0)$ -----> see the attached figure N $1$

2) The value of x is $4$

3) I quadrant

4) $(1,1)$

5) $y>-5x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

If the point satisfy the inequality

then

the point must be included in the shaded area

The point $(1,0)$ is included in the shaded area

Part 2)

we have

$x-2y\geq 4$

see the attached figure N $2$

we know that

The value for x on the boundary line and the x axis is equal to the x-intercept of the line $x-2y= 4$

For $y=0$

Find the value of x

$x-2(0)= 4$

$x=4$

The solution is $x=4$

Part 3)

we have

$x\geq 0$ -----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is in the first and fourth quadrant

$y\geq 0$ -----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is in the first and second quadrant

so

the solution of the inequality A and the inequality B is the first quadrant

Part 4) Which ordered pair is a solution of the inequality?

we have

$y\geq 4x-5$

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the inequality

then

the ordered pair must be satisfy the inequality

we're going to verify all the cases

<u>case A)</u> point $(3,4)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=3,y=4$

$4\geq 4(3)-5$

$4\geq 7$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,4)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case B)</u> point $(2,1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=2,y=1$

$1\geq 4(2)-5$

$1\geq 3$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(2,1)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case C)</u> point $(3,0)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=3,y=0$

$0\geq 4(3)-5$

$0\geq 7$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,0)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case D)</u> point $(1,1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=1,y=1$

$1\geq 4(1)-5$

$1\geq -1$ ------> is true

therefore

the point $(1,1)$ is a solution of the inequality

Part 5) Write an inequality to match the graph

we know that

The equation of the line has a negative slope

The y-intercept is the point $(3,0)$

The x-intercept is a positive number

The solution is the shaded area above the dashed line

so

the equation of the line is $y=-5x+3$

The inequality is $y>-5x+3$
