Answer:
The proportion that can be used to find x is;
(200-x)/x = 7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.
From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;
this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6
Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.
Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;
Hence;
(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7
One way to write a line is y=mx+b, where b is a number, m is the slope of the line, and y and x are variables that you can plug numbers into. We know that we have two points, (0,5) and (10,0). To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation

Plugging this in for our points, we get

as our slope (we get -1/2 by dividing both -5 and 10 by 5 from the previous fraction), making our equation y=(-1/2)x+b. Plugging a point in to find out what b is, we get 0=(-1/2)10+b=-5+b. Adding 5 to both sides to separate the b, we get 5=b, making our equation y=(-1/2)x+5. To find out what x is for (x,2), since the y value comes second, we can plug in 2 into our equation to get 2=(-1/2)x+5. Since we want to solve for x, we have to separate it. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get -3=(-1/2)x. Since we can multiply -1/2 by its reciprocal (switching the numerator and denominator) to get 1 (and therefore x on the right sides as 1*x=x), we multiply both sides by -2 to get 6=x, making the point (6,2)

Ok, so...what is the question?...
Answer:
10×4 = 40
10^4 = 10,000
Step-by-step explanation:
10^4 is another way to write 10⁴ = 10·10·10·10 = 10,000.
Essentially, the exponent tells you how many places to the right of the leading digit the decimal point lies (here, the number of zeros in the number).

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>
The appropriate answer depends on what you mean by your problem statement. Some microscopes magnify 40 times; others magnify 10,000 times, so we cannot tell the appropriate answer using our knowledge of microscopes.
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Here, the slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is 5.
y = -3/2x + 5
