Challenging Algebra
Question
Young Jamie decided to test his new non-motorised billy kart on two different
straight hill slopes. He only had the mathematical equations for the slopes, but
wanted to know how far he would travel on his billy cart and which hill he would
go down the fastest on.

Hill 1:
Hill 2:

-2x - 4 = -2y + 6x
x=-

y
+ 4 x + 2.5
3

Can you help Billy with his Mathematics equations. Both hills have perfectly
straight and even roads with no bumps. He needs you to:
Find out which hill will generate the fastest speeds on his billy kart.
Which straight hill slope is the longest stretch of road if he starts at the
x-intercept and the finish line is at the y-intercept of those lines? Assume that
both lengths of roads are using the same unit of measurement (kms).
Slope 1
-2x - 4 = -2y + 6x
-2x - 6x - 4 = -2y
-8x - 4 = -2y
-8x - 4
y=
-2
y = 4x + 2

Slope 2
y
x = - + 4x + 2.5
3
y
= 4x - x + 2.5
3
y
= 3x + 2.5
3
y = 3(3x + 2.5)
y = 9x + 7.5

Slope 2 has the steeper gradient, so Jamie will travel the fastest speeds on this
Slope.
Part 2 of the Question
Which straight hill slope is the longest stretch of road if he starts at
the y-intercept and the finish line is at the x-intercept of those lines?

y = 4x + 2
y-intercept …x = 0
Y intercept = 2
X intercept ..y = 0
y =- 1/2

2

1
- + 22 = c2
2
.25 + 4 = c 2
c 2 = 4.25
c = 4.25
c = 2.06

The length of this slop 1 is 2.06 kms
Slope 2
y = 9x + 7.5
When x=0
Y=7.5
When y=0
7.5
9
-0.833

0.8332 + 7.52 = c 2
0.694 + 56.25 = c 2
56.944 = c 2
c = 56.944
c = 7.55

(Rounded to 2 Decimal Places)

The length of slope 2 = 7.55kms
Solution
The length of this slop 1 is 2.06kms
The length of slope 2 = 7.5 kms

Therefore, the longest slope is going to
be slope 2.

Linear equations challenge question

  • 2. Young Jamie decided to test his new non-motorised billy kart on two different straight hill slopes. He only had the mathematical equations for the slopes, but wanted to know how far he would travel on his billy cart and which hill he would go down the fastest on. Hill 1: Hill 2: -2x - 4 = -2y + 6x x=- y + 4 x + 2.5 3 Can you help Billy with his Mathematics equations. Both hills have perfectly straight and even roads with no bumps. He needs you to: Find out which hill will generate the fastest speeds on his billy kart. Which straight hill slope is the longest stretch of road if he starts at the x-intercept and the finish line is at the y-intercept of those lines? Assume that both lengths of roads are using the same unit of measurement (kms).
  • 3. Slope 1 -2x - 4 = -2y + 6x -2x - 6x - 4 = -2y -8x - 4 = -2y -8x - 4 y= -2 y = 4x + 2 Slope 2 y x = - + 4x + 2.5 3 y = 4x - x + 2.5 3 y = 3x + 2.5 3 y = 3(3x + 2.5) y = 9x + 7.5 Slope 2 has the steeper gradient, so Jamie will travel the fastest speeds on this Slope.
  • 4. Part 2 of the Question Which straight hill slope is the longest stretch of road if he starts at the y-intercept and the finish line is at the x-intercept of those lines? y = 4x + 2 y-intercept …x = 0 Y intercept = 2 X intercept ..y = 0 y =- 1/2 2 1 - + 22 = c2 2 .25 + 4 = c 2 c 2 = 4.25 c = 4.25 c = 2.06 The length of this slop 1 is 2.06 kms
  • 5. Slope 2 y = 9x + 7.5 When x=0 Y=7.5 When y=0 7.5 9 -0.833 0.8332 + 7.52 = c 2 0.694 + 56.25 = c 2 56.944 = c 2 c = 56.944 c = 7.55 (Rounded to 2 Decimal Places) The length of slope 2 = 7.55kms
  • 6. Solution The length of this slop 1 is 2.06kms The length of slope 2 = 7.5 kms Therefore, the longest slope is going to be slope 2.
