Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.

What is the equation for this line
pogonyaev

The equation of the line is y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}.

Solution:

The points on the line are (–6, –3) and (4, –5).

 x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=-3, x_{2}=4, y_{2}=-5

Slope of the line:

 $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

 $m=\frac{-5-(-3)}{4-(-6)}

 $m=\frac{-5+3}{4+6}

$m=\frac{-2}{10}

$m=\frac{-1}{5}

Point-slope formula:

 y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

 $y-(-3)=\frac{-1}{5}(x-(-6))

 $y+3=\frac{-1}{5}(x+6)

 $y+3=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{6}{5}

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}

The equation of the line is  y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}.

Which inequality is shown in this graph
Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2

EXPLANATION

The boundary line passes through (-2,2) and (0,-2).

The slope of this line is

m =  \frac{ - 2 - 2}{0 -  - 2}

m =  \frac{ - 4}{2}  =  - 2

The y-intercept is , c=-2.

The slope-intercept form of this line is given by;

y = mx + c

We substitute values to obtain;

y =  - 2x - 2

Since the lower half-plane is shaded the required inequality is

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2
