How do u graph y= -2x = 1.
in baseball,the pither's mound is 6 in. more than 20 yd from homeplate.how many is this.
First, Kylie, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.
You do not designate the unit desired for the answer — inches, feet or yards. Assuming that you want feet, you need to convert all measurements to feet.
6 in. = .5 feet
20 yards = 60 feet
I hope this helps. Thqnks for asking.
Cindy, your equation does not make sense in terms of graphing. Correct your typos and repost your question. Thanks for asking.
To graph the equation y = -2x + 1, you can follow these steps:
1. Create a coordinate plane by drawing two perpendicular lines that intersect at the origin (0,0). Label the x-axis and y-axis.
2. Choose some values for x and solve for y to create ordered pairs. For example, let's choose x = 0, 1, and -1.
When x = 0, y = -2(0) + 1 = 1. So the first ordered pair is (0,1).
When x = 1, y = -2(1) + 1 = -1. So the second ordered pair is (1,-1).
When x = -1, y = -2(-1) + 1 = 3. So the third ordered pair is (-1,3).
3. Plot these ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. (0,1) would be one point on the graph, (1,-1) would be another point, and (-1,3) would be the third point.
4. Connect these points with a straight line. Make sure the line extends beyond the plotted points in both directions.
The resulting line is the graph of the equation y = -2x + 1.
As for the second part of your question, the pitcher's mound being 6 inches more than 20 yards from home plate, you need to convert the measurement to the same unit to find the distance.
Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, 20 yards would be equal to 20 x 3 = 60 feet.
To convert the 6 inches to feet, divide it by 12: 6 ÷ 12 = 0.5 feet.
Now you can find the total distance by adding the 60 feet and 0.5 feet: 60 + 0.5 = 60.5 feet.
Therefore, the distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate is 60.5 feet.
