Please help my teacher wont help

Choice B

They traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Their speed was 62.5 mph.

Explanation:

Start at point X. Draw a horizontal line straight across until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 250. This tells us that they traveled 250 miles.

Go back to point X. Draw a vertical line until you reach the x axis. You should reach x = 4. This indicates 4 hours.

Pairing up the two values together means they traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Divide the distance over time to get the speed

speed = distance/time = 250/4 = 62.5 miles per hour

Side note: unfortunately your teacher chose the label uppercase X for the point, which may be a bit confusing since it could clash with the lowercase x along the horizontal axis.

Another note: the speed represents the slope of the line

the answers c

-3

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
