Tom drives a truck. His regular trip is a distance of 280 km. He drives at an average speed of 80 km/h. For safety reasons Tom’s

boss puts a speed limiter on his truck. This reduces Tom’s average speed by 10 km/h. How much longer will it take Tom to drive his regular trip?

Time = distance / speed

before the speed limiter :
t = d/s
t = 280/80
t = 3.5 hrs

after the speed limiter : reduced by 10....80 - 10 = 70
t = d/s
t = 280/70
t = 4 hrs

with the speed limiter, it would take Tom 0.5 hrs longer....or 1/2 an hr longer....or 30 minutes longer

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $5
ANTONII [103]
How you would set this up would be as follows:

(50*30)+4,596*.03

The 50*30 is her earning $50 a day for 30 days. Then to find her commission earnings you multiply her sales of 4,596 times the commission rate of 3%(when you move the decimal place you get .03)

Add them together and you get her total amount earned of $1,637.88

Hope this helped!
