Use the defined variables for the verbal model to write an equation in slope-intercept form that relates the variables. 16/hour x hours walked + 2/hours x hours walked =32 Let x represent the number of hours biked. Let y represent the number of hours walked. An equation is y= .

The required equation of y is (y = 16 - 8x) and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Given that x represents the number of hours biked and y represents the number of hours walked. So, the equation becomes:

16x + 2y = 32

Now, the following steps can be used to determine the equation of 'y':

Step 1 - Write the equation.

16x + 2y = 32

Step 2 - Subtract 16x from both sides in the above equation.

2y = 32 - 16x

Step 3 - Now, divide by 2 from both sides.

Step 4 - Simplify the above equation.

y = 16 - 8x

So, the required equation of y is (y = 16 - 8x).

Complete question:

Use the defined variables for the verbal model to write an equation in slope-intercept form that relates the variables. 16miles/hour x hours biked + 2miles/hours x hours walked =32 Let x represent the number of hours biked. Let y represent the number of hours walked. An equation is y= .

16x + 2y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

x = number of hours biked

y = number of hours walked

16miles/hour * hours biked + 2miles/hours * hours walked = 32

16miles/hour * x + 2miles/hours * y = 32

16x + 2y = 32

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
