Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is the slope.
y - 4 = 2/5 (x - (-2))
y - 4 = 2/5 (x + 2)

Answer:

The required equation of line is:

$y-4=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a slope and a point

And we need to form the equation of line

We will use the formula for equation of line which is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where m is the slope of the line.

here, $y_1=4,x_1=-2$

On substituting the values we get:

$y-4=\frac{2}{5}(x-(-2))$

$y-4=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Therefore, the required equation of line is:

$y-4=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Nakita rode her skateboard at an average speed of 8.8 feet per second for 0.2 miles. She wants to calculate how long it took her

timama [110]

Answer: $2\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

$d=rt$

Where "d" is distance, "r" is rate and "t" is time.

Solved for the time "t":

$t=\frac{d}{r}$

The first step is to convert the distance from miles to feet.

Since $1\ mile=5,280\ feet$ , we get:

$d=(0.2\ mi)(\frac{5,280\ ft}{1\ mi})\\\\d=1,056\ ft$

Knowing that:

$r=8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}$

We can substitute values into $t=\frac{d}{r}$ in order to find the time in seconds:

$t=\frac{1,056\ ft}{8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}}\\\\t=120\ s$

Since:

$1\ minute = 60\ seconds$

The time in minutes is:

$t=(120\ s)(\frac{1\ min}{60\ s})\\\\t=2\ min$

In 2004, a magazine's circulation was about 1,000,000 readers. In 2014, the magazine had about 2,000,000 readers. Write a linear

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r ----> the number of readers (y-coordinate or dependent variable)

t ----> the number of years after 2000 (x-coordinate or independent variable)

Remember

2004 ----> represent t=4 years

2014 ----> represent t=14 years

we have the ordered pairs

(4,1,000,000) and (14,2,000,000)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2,000,000-1,000,000}{14-4}$

$m=\frac{1,000,000}{10}$

$m=100,000\frac{readers}{year}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$r-r1=m(t-t1)$

we have

$m=100,000\\point\ (4,1,000,000)$

substitute

$r-1,000,000=100,000(t-4)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

$r=mt+b$

isolate the variable r

$r-1,000,000=100,000t-400,000\\r=100,000t-400,000+1,000,000\\r=100,000t+600,000$

step 4

Convert to function notation

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

the total reimbursement (in dollars) for driving a company car m miles can be modeled by the function f(x) = 0.45m +5. After a p

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The slope becomes 0.5625 and y intercept becomes 12.5.

$65.9375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

the total reimbursement function in terms of $m$ miles:

$f(x) = 0.45m +5$

After the policy change, 5 more dollars are added and then total amount is multiplied by 1.25.

To find:

How to transform the graph of f.

Total reimbursement for a trip of 95 miles?

Solution:

$f(x) = 0.45m +5$ can also be written as:

$y = 0.45m +5$

It is nothing but slope intercept form, comparing with $Y = M X+ C$

M is the slope and C is the y intercept.

Slope of the graph is 0.45.

Y intercept is 5.

After change in the function, first of all add $5.

$0.45m + 5+5 = 0.45m+10$

Now, multiply with 1.25

Resulting function becomes:

$f(x) =1.25\times (0.45m+10)\\\Rightarrow f(x) =0.5625m+12.5$

Kindly refer to the attached image for the graph of the two functions.

Now, the slope becomes 0.5625 and y intercept becomes 12.5. This is the transformation.

To find the reimbursement for a trip of 95 miles:

Put m = 95

$f(95) =0.5625\times 95+12.5 = \bold{\$65.9375 }$
