Coordinate-system/399896: find the y intercept and the x intercept for the equation 3x-2y=12 1 solutions Answer 283119 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 23:20:15 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the y intercept and the x intercept for the equation 3x-2y=12 ... put y = 0 3x-0=12 3x=12 /3 x=4 the x intercept ... put x=0 0-2y=12 -2y=12 /-2 y=-6 the y intercept

Coordinate-system/399894: find the slope if it exists (-11, -8) and (-12,-10) 1 solutions Answer 283118 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 23:17:18 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (-11, -8) and (-12,-10) .. slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) m=-10-(-8)/-12-(-11) m=-10+8/-12+11 m=-2/-1 m=2

Travel_Word_Problems/399891: A water tank is connected to the two pumps. It takes 40 minutes to fill the tank from the pump at the top and 60 minutes to empty using the the pump at the bottom.. If we pump the water at the same time, how many hours will it take to fill the tank from empty? 1 solutions Answer 283116 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 23:11:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! A water tank is connected to the two pumps. It takes 40 minutes to fill the tank from the pump at the top and 60 minutes to empty using the the pump at the bottom.. If we pump the water at the same time, how many hours will it take to fill the tank from empty? ... pump A ----- 40 minutes filling so it does 1/40 of job in 1 minute, Pump B ----------- 60 minutes draining so it does 1/60 of the job in 1 minute. .. 1/40 -1/60 is the job done in 1 minute when both are open .. (60-40)/2400= 20/2400====> 2/240======> 1/120 of the job .. so it will take 120 minutes to fill the pool. m.ananth@hotmail.ca

Linear-equations/399890: If both equations have the same slope it has no solution right? 1 solutions Answer 283115 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 23:04:54 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! both equations can have the same slope 1. if they are parallel so no solutions 2. if they are the same line then there are innumerable solutions.

Coordinate-system/399877: graph the following equation and identify the y-intercept y=x+4 what is the y intercept 1 solutions Answer 283114 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 23:01:39 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=x+4 x=0,y=4(0,4) y=0x=-4(-4,0) ... ... the y intercept = 4

Linear-systems/399882: A duck can fly 1800 m in 10 min with the wind. Against the wind, it can fly only 2/3 of this distance in 10 min. How fast can the duck fly in still air? What is the rate of the wind. **PLEASE USE THE VARIABLES R for rate duck speed in still air and C for rate of wind. IF YOU DO NOT..I WILL GET CONFUSED SINCE I AM USING THOSE AND ONLY THOSE VARIABLES. 1 solutions Answer 283110 by mananth(12270)   on 2011-01-25 22:48:43 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
