Help please: A bus and a train leave a station at the same time, t = 0. The graph shows the bus's distance to the next station o

ver time. The train moves more quickly than the bus. Write an equation of a function that could represent the train's distance to the next station.​

Answer:

y = (5/2)x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bus and train are both at the station at time 0, the y-intercept for the new equation is 20. That is one point on the new graph: (0,20) The question said that the train travels faster, that means it spends less time getting to the next station. The existing graph shows the bus got to the next station in 10 minutes, so maybe the train got there in 8 minutes. So another point on the graph is (8,0) We can use a slope formula to calculate the slope of a new line. Or just count squares on the graph (se image) to find the slope. Slope tells how steep a line is, whether the line is going up or down, but also the slope is like directions how to get from one point to another point on the line.

All you need to write an equation is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b and fill those two numbers into the formula y=mx+b Here slope is 5/2 and y-intercept is 20. So you get

y=(5/2)x +20

Which description best describes the solution to the following system of equations?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

  Line y = –x + 4 intersects the line y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is described as the point of intersection of the two lines. The description above is the only one that says anything about that.

___

<em>Comments on other answer choices</em>

Any line with finite non-zero slope intersects both the x- and y-axes. That fact does not describe the solution to a system of equations.

Any linear equation with an added (non-zero) constant will not intersect the origin. These two equations have +4 and +3 added, so neither line intersects the origin.
