The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:

a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5

Answer: y=-1/20x+5

Wheel A has a diameter of 25.4 inches. Wheel B has a diameter of 22.5 inches. About how much farther will Wheel A travel in one
MissTica

Wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 in more than wheel B in one rotation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Diameter of wheel A, d₁ = 25.4 in

Radius of wheel A, r₁ = 12.7 in

Diameter of wheel B = 22.5 in

Radius of Wheel B, d₂ = 11.25 in

Distance travelled by A = ?

In one rotation, the distance travelled by a wheel is equal to its circumference.

Circumference of a wheel = 2πr

Circumference of wheel A = 2πr₁

                                            = 2 X 3.14 X 12.7 in

                                            = 80 in

Circumference of wheel B = 2πr₂

                                              = 2 X 3.14 X 11.25 in

                                              = 71 in

Therefore, wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 (80 - 71 in) in more than wheel B in one rotation.

In which diagram are angles 1 and 2 vertical angles?
Solnce55 [7]

<u>Answer</u>

First diagram shows  1 and 2 vertical angles

<u>Explanation</u>

From the all four diagrams,we get the diagram first shows the vertically opposite angles.  

angle 1 and angle 2 are vertically opposite angles

vertically opposite angles are equal in measurements. when two lines are intersect each other form four angles, out of this four angles two pairs of vertically opposite  angles are there.

All other figures  angle 1 and 2 shows adjacent angles.

30 POINTS! Explain how you found the equation that represents Aunt Andrea’s decorating plans from the table.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:   The number of balloons varies directly with the number of tables. The two variables are directly proportional. The relationship of balloons to tables is the ratio 5:1, where 5 is the constant of variation. Use the equation y = kx, where k is the constant of variation resulting in the equation y = 5x.

Hope i helped

A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 74 ft high and 28 ft wide at the base as shown below.
sergiy2304 [10]
The equation of a parabola with vertex at (h,k) is 
y=a(x-h)²+k

vertex isi at (0,0)

y=a(x-0)²+0
y=a(x)²
y=ax²
find a

we see that one point is (14,-74)
x=14 and y=-74

-74=a(14²)
-74=196a
divide both sides by 196
-37/98=a

the equation is 

y= \frac{-37}{98} x^2
