Anyone know how to do this?

Answer:

y = -1/2 x + 25

The relationship is linear, but it takes some doing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a very interesting problem. I've never seen one quite like it. There is probably a much better way of solving it, but I did not discover it.  

You have to introduce another variable which I labeled as z.

Let time = x

Let distance = y

Let the step away from the starting point = z   which will be the same for x and y. So 18 and 16 the step away from the start is 3.

So as the time increases, the distance decreases.  What we are going to do sort of resembles a parametric relationship.

t starts with 10

x = 10 + 4*(z - 1)   and increases by 4 with each step

d starts with 20 and decreases by 2 with each step

y = 20 - (z - 1)*2

Now solve for z in each of the forgoing equations.

x = 10 + 4z - 4

x = 6 + 4z

x - 6 = 4z

(x - 6)/4 = z

y = 20 - 2z + 2

y = 22 - 2z

y - 22 = - 2z

(y - 22)/-2 = z                    

Since the zs must be kept the same, the left sides are equated

(x - 6)/4 = (y - 22)/-2               Cross multiply

-2(x - 6) = 4(y - 22)                 Remove the brackets.

-2x + 12 = 4y - 88                   add 88 to both sides.

-2x + 100 = 4y                        Switch the sides

4y = - 2x + 100                       Divide by 4

y = -1/2 x  + 25

Now for sure you have to try this.

Let x = 14

y = -1/2 * 14 + 25

y = -7 + 25

y =  18

Try another one

Let x = 22

y = -1/2 * 22 + 25

y = - 11 + 25

y = 14

Those two at least check.

(I will give brainiest) Chelsea has just started her own flower business appropriately named Flowers by C.
She knows that she needs to order carnations and roses for her grand opening in order to make
bouquets and vases to sell. She can order a maximum of 300 carnations and 250 roses. The following inequalities represent the total number of bouquets and vases she can make given the
orders she places. Let x represent the number of bouquets and y represent the number of vases.
If she wants to make 18 vases, what is the maximum number of bouquets she can make?

Use the scatter plot of car resale values to answer the following question.
A graph titled Car Resale Values has age of car on the x-axis, from 0 to 10 in increments of 2, and percentage of sticker price on the y-axis, for 0 to 100. A line of best fit goes through points (2, 80) and (9, 20).
What can you say about the correlation between the age of a car and its resale value?
a.
The trend line slopes downward from upper left to lower right, so there is a negative correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
b.
The trend line slopes downward from upper left to lower right, so there is a positive correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
c.
The trend line slopes upward from lower right to upper left, so there is a positive correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
d.
There is no correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
