The two fastest times in the past 20 years for the girls 200-meter run at clarksville elementary school are 27.97 seconds and 27.93 seconds. at yesterday's track meet, claire ran 27.99 seconds. was her time faster than either of the two fastest. explain

Claire's time is not faster than either of the two fastest

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Was her time faster than either of the two fastest?

step 1

Compare Claire's time with the fastest time

Claire's time is 27.99 sec

Fastest time is 27.93 sec

so

27.99 > 27.93

Claire's time > fastest time

therefore

Claire's time is not faster than the fastest time, because the value of Claire's time is greater than the value of the fastest time

step 2

Compare Claire's time with the second fastest time

Claire's time is 27.99 sec

Second fastest time is 27.97 sec

so

27.99 > 27.97

Claire's time > second fastest time

therefore

Claire's time is not faster than the second fastest time, because the value of Claire's time is greater than the value of the second fastest time

therefore

Claire's time is not faster than either of the two fastest

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

no he doesnt because "-16' is negatiive
