3. The number of revolutions made by a tire traveling over a fixed distance varies inversely to the radius of the tire. A 12-inch radius tire makes 100 revolutions to travel a certain distance. How many revolutions would a
16-inch radius tire require to travel the same distance?

Most people when asked, “What is the equation of a line?”, will answer, “y = mx + b”. This is the

equation of a line in what is called slope-intercept form where “m” is the slope and “b” is the yintercept. So, how do you find the equation of a line? There are several different ways that you can find

the equation of a line. I find the equation of a line everytime by following the same three steps:

Step 1: Find the slope of the line.

Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.

Step 3: Use steps 1 and 2 to write the answer.

I will explain these steps by looking a several examples. Please understand that there are often several

different ways to complete each math problem, but I have found through the years that students are most

successful when the do problems the same way each and every time they attempt the problem. If you

know a different way to find the answer that is great, but I am going to show how to do the problem one

way and use the same technique everytime I see this problem.

Explanation:

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
