Answer: -5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula: 
You substitute the numbers in and subtract to get -5/3.
Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7
let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)
time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)
⇒⇒⇒ divide by d
1/(x-7)
= 3/(x+7)
x+7
= 3(x-7)
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14
So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Put the equation into y=kx form
- add 4x to both sides
- divide by 8 on both sides to get y=1/2x
2) k is the constant of proportionality
Answer:
74.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two together, and you have your answer b/c it's asking for the total length of the line
