Answer: B. y = 1/2x - 1

Explanation:
I know someone else already answered, but I wanted to explain why the answer is B.

Consider an equation of a line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Since the line intersects the y-axis at -1, that’s the y intercept, or b. We know the slope of the line is positive because it slopes upward from left to right. From each whole number solution point, the line goes up one and two to the right. Slope, represented by m, is “rise” over “run”, or the change in y over the change in x. This makes the slope 1/2.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

The correct answer is A) 4/663.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the probability of drawing a queen when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards. Since there are 4 queens(the queen of diamond, the queen of hearts, the queen of spades, and the queen of clubs) in a deck of 52 cards, the probability of drawing a queen when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards is 4/52.

Next you find the probability of drawing a king when drawing a single card from a deck of 51 cards(since you did not replace the first card you drew). Since there are 4 kings(the king of diamond, the king of hearts, the king of spades, and the king of clubs) in a deck of cards, the probability of drawing a king when drawing a single card from a deck of 51 cards is 4/51.

Then you multiply the two probabilities to determine the probability of drawing a queen then a king. So,

4/52 x 4/51 =

4 x 4/52 x 51 =

16/2652

Finally, simplify the fraction. The greatest number that can go into both the numerator and denominator is 4. So divide both the numerator and denominator by 4. When you do this, you get the following:

16 divided by 4 = 4 as the numerator and

2652 divided by 4 = 663 as denominator.

So, the final answer is 4/663.

You travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Yes, the average speed for the entire trip from A to C is equal to $80\frac{km}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time. For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form:

$V_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{x_2-x_1}{t_2-t_1}=\frac{Δx}{Δt}$

If the beginning and ending velocities for the motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as:

$V_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{V_1+V_2}{2}$

We Know that:

$V_1=70\frac{km}{h} \\\\V_2=90\frac{km}{h}$

Replacing the values:

$V_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{70+90}{2} =\frac{160}{2}=80\frac{km}{h}$

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

$-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0$

Multiplying by (-1)

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

$a = 16, b = -72, c = -100$

$\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584$

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11$

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 177. What is the value of the smallest number in the sequence

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Ok this is a very question that can solved very easily. So we know that there three numbers, and they are consecutive, this means that they are all one bigger than the number before so for example 1,2, and 3 or 20, 21, and 22. These numbers are called consecutive. Now let's just pretend that the answer to this question is the variable "x". Now x is the smallest number in all the three numbers.

Using our knowledge of consecutive numbers we can say that the next to numbers will be one more than the number before so:

(x+1) and (x+2)

So we have our three numbers: x , x+1 , and x+2. Now let's set these numbers equal to 177.

177 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 → Combine like terms.

177 = 3x + 3 → Subtract 3 from both sides.

174 = 3x → Divide both sides by 3

58 = x

So that means that our first and smallest number is going to be 58 our second number will be +1 so 59 and our third number will be +2 so 60.

So the three numbers will be 58, 59, and 60.

Hope this helped.
