Two postcards every five days therefore I think it would be 2/5 because rose over run (this may be wrong but that is was I got)
Answer:
912.9 miles total
Step-by-step explanation:
75.4 miles biking x 8 times = 603.2 miles in biking
22.4 miles running x 3 days = 67.2 miles in running
27.5 miles running x 5 days = 137.5 miles running (2nd)
15 miles swimming x 7 days = 105 miles swimming
603.2+67.2+137.5+105 =
912.9 miles total
y=mx+b is the standard function for any straight line
y and x are constants, so they never change in the final form
m is the slope, which is given
b is the y intercept, which is not given
we have to plug in the values to find the solution, so plug in the (x,y) coordinates for their respective places in the equation
-8 = (-3/5)(-3) + b
-8 = 1.8 + b
-9.8 = b
now that we have b, we can just put the slope back in for m and get the answer
y= -3/5x -9.8
