A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 4 comma 9 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 0 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the graph.
To find the slope of the graph, we need to calculate the change in y divided by the change in x between the two points.
The two points given are (4, 9) and (5, 0).
The change in y is 0 - 9 = -9.
The change in x is 5 - 4 = 1.
Therefore, the slope is -9/1 = -9.
If Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, how far will he run in 3 hours if he continues to run at the same rate?(1 point)
Since Chase runs 5 miles in 60 minutes, we can find his running rate by dividing the distance he runs by the time it takes:
5 miles / 60 minutes = 0.0833 miles/minute.
If Chase runs at the same rate for 3 hours, which is equal to 3 * 60 = 180 minutes, we can find the distance he will run by multiplying his running rate by the time:
0.0833 miles/minute * 180 minutes = 14.994 miles.
Therefore, Chase will run approximately 14.994 miles in 3 hours.
its easy to solve, just multiply 5 by 3 and you have your answer.
Apologies for the confusion caused by my previous response. You are correct. To determine the distance Chase will run in 3 hours, we can simply multiply the distance he runs in 1 hour (5 miles) by the number of hours (3):
5 miles * 3 hours = 15 miles.
Therefore, Chase will run 15 miles in 3 hours. Thank you for pointing out the simpler solution.
A whale swims 200 miles in 5 days. Identify which equation could be used to find how many miles it swims in 16 days.(1 point)
To find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's assume x represents the number of miles the whale swims in 16 days. The proportion can be set up as:
200 miles / 5 days = x miles / 16 days.
To simplify the proportion, we cross-multiply:
5 * x = 200 * 16.
The equation that could be used to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is:
5x = 3200.
Wrong, solve the problem THEN tell me which equation can be used.
Apologies for the mistake. To find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We can use the concept of ratios to set up the proportion. The ratio of miles swum to days taken should be the same for both cases.
Let x represent the number of miles the whale swims in 16 days.
The proportion can be set up as:
200 miles / 5 days = x miles / 16 days.
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
5 * x = 200 * 16.
Now, we can simplify the equation:
5x = 3200.
Thus, the equation that can be used to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is:
5x = 3200.
