Answer:

The correct answer is b) x - y + 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by finding the slope using the two points given.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5 - 2)/(4 - 1)

m = 3/3

m = 1

Now that we have the slope, we can plug into point slope form along with either point. Then we can solve for 0 to see which equation is correct.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1(x - 1)

y - 2 = x - 1

-x + y - 2 = -1

-x + y - 1 = 0

x - y + 1 = 0

Answer:

Ir is impossible to tell.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Stan earns $15 on Monday, $45 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and $60 from Monday to Friday this week.

Since, we do not have the individual earnings for each day, we are unable to plot the graph of the given relationship.

So, without graph it is impossible to state whether the relationship is linear or not.

So hmmm check the picture below

so, we're looking for dr/dt then at 4:00pm or 4 hours later

now, keep in mind that, the distance "x", is not changing, is constant whilst "y" and "r" are moving, that simply means when taking the derivative, that goes to 0

$\bf r^2=x^2+y^2\implies 2r\cfrac{dr}{dt}=0+2y\cfrac{dy}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dr}{dt}=\cfrac{y\frac{dy}{dt}}{r}\quad 
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{dy}{dt}=30\\
r=130\\
y=120
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dr}{dt}=\cfrac{120\cdot 30}{130}$
