Answer:

The answer is 720 meters.

Explanation:

There is 90 seconds in 1.5 minutes, so if the swimmer can swim 8 meters per second you have to multiply 8 meters by the 90 seconds. 8 x 90 = 720, so the swimmer can swim 720 meters in 1.5 minutes.

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!! Jordan got a new money bank for his birthday with $20 inside. He puts part of his weekly allowance in his ba

Answer:

Slope of the function is $=3.75$ ,Y-intercept $=20$ .

The function is $y=3.75(x)+20$ with initial value $=20$ ,Jordan puts $\$3.75$ each week andthe amount saved by Jordan after $52$ week $=215\$$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand the slope and y-intercept lets assign $x$ as number of weeks and $y$ as the money saved by Jordan.

Jordan is already having a sum of $\$20$ inside the money bank so in $0$ week the amount is $\$20$ can be written as $(x,y) =(0,20)$ in coordinate form.

SImilarly

We have $(x,y) =(0,20)$ and $(x_1,y_1) =(25,113.75)$

Part A:

The function is $y=m(x)+b$

From point-slope form,we have slope (m)

and $m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x}$ ,plugging the values of the points.

$m=\frac{113.75-20}{25-0}=3.75$

Y-intercept of this function is the constant term or the money of $\$20$ that is already inside the money bank.

We can also calculate y-intercept by arranging the function as $b=y-m(x)$ choosing any $(x_1,y_1) = (25,113.75)$ coordinate and here $b$ is the y-intercept.
