Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment.
If both cyclists travel for the same time and speed, they will have travelled the same distance. Since one is headed north and the other east, we can see that the distance between them in one hour is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Each leg has distance x. We can say x^2 + x^2 = (3)^2
2x^2 =1 8
x^2 = 9
x = 3
They both rode 3 miles.

Answer:
The slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6) is (-0.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a straight line:
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
(x1, x2) and (y1, y2) : (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)
Calculating Slope (m).
m =
m =
m =
m =
we can take this a step further by finding the equation:
Now putting value of m in equation (i)
y = -0.5x + b
Calculating Y-intercept (b).
Lets choose the first point, (-3,-5) for calculating y-intercept:
y = mx + b
-5 = -0.5(-3) + b
-5 = 1.5 + b
-6.5 = b
b = -6.5
Now putting value of b in equation
y = -0.5x + -6.5
