The table represents the distance covered by Emma over several hours on a recent Saturday bike ride. Becky takes the same route,

and the total distance she travels, y miles, in x hours is represented by the function y = 8x. Assuming that Emma and Becky travel at a constant rate of speed, which statement BEST compares their biking speeds?
A) Emma travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Becky.
B) Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.
C) Emma travels 7 miles per hour faster than Becky.
D) Emma and Becky travel at the same speed.

Answer:

Option B. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8x is the function that represents the distance y miles traveled in x hours by Emma.

From the given function

Speed of Emma = $\frac{y}{x}=8$ miles per hour

Relation between distance covered (y) by Becky in (x) hours has been given in the table attached.

Then speed of Becky = Rate of change in distance traveled by Becky

Speed of Becky = $\frac{(15-7.5)}{(2-1)}$

= 7.5 miles per hour

Difference in the speed of Becky and Emma = 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles per hour

That represents that Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.

Option B). is the answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.

Emma's speed is 7.5 miles per hour. The slope of y = 8x, which is 8, is Becky's speed.

8 − 7.5 = 0.5 miles per hour faster

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000. How many kilometers does it take for the moon

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

As per the statement;

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000 km

From the above information,

The ratio between Distance and Days is; $\frac{2413000}{28}$

then,

the distance it takes for the moon to travel one day of its orbit around the earth we have;

$\frac{2413000}{28} \times 1 = \frac{2413000}{28}=86178.57$ km.

Therefore, the distance in kilometer does the moon cover in 1 day is 86178.57 km

Hello Please Find The Answer To This Question (easy)

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -5/2 x + 1 and passing through (10, 3) will be y = 2/5 x + 1.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

The equation of the perpendicular line will be given as

y = mx + c

The given equation is y = -5/2 x + 1.

The slope of the line is -5/2.

Then the product of the slope of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.

-5/2 × m = - 1

m = 2/5

Then the equation will be

y = 2/5 x + c

Then the equation is passing through (10, 3). Then we have

3 = 2/5 × 10 + c

3 = 2 + c

c = 1

Then the equation is y = 2/5 x + 1.

More about the linear system link is given below.

Use the graph below to determine a1 and d for the sequence. graphed sequence showing point 1, negative 10, point 2, negative 7,

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$a_1=-10$

$d=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u><em>Arithmetic Sequence</em></u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant, and this constant is called the common difference (d)

In this problem we have the ordered pairs

$(1,-10),(2,-7),(3,-4),(4,-1),(5,2),(6,5)$

Let

$a_1=-10\\a_2=-7\\a_3=-4\\a_4=-1\\a_5=2\\a_6=5$

Find the difference between one term and the next

$a_2-a_1=-7-(-10)=3$

$a_3-a_2=-4-(-7)=3$

$a_4-a_3=-1-(-4)=3$

$a_5-a_4=2-(-1)=3$

$a_6-a_5=5-2=3$

The difference between one term and the next is a constant

This constant is the common difference

so

The sequence graphed is an Arithmetic Sequence

therefore

The first term is $a_1=-10$

The common difference is equal to $d=3$
