Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b

Bill's rate of travel = x

Let Julie's rate of travel = 3x

The time each travels is 2.5 hours

Together they travel a distance of 190 miles

d = r*t

Bill's distance covered is r * t = 2.5x

Julie's distance travel is 2.5 * 3x = 7.5x

The total distance = Bill + Julie

2.5x + 7.5x = 190

10x = 190

x = 190/10

x = 19

Bill's distance = 2.5 * 19 = 47.5

Julie's distance = 19 * 7.5 = 142.5

Rate = distance / time

Bill's rate = 47.5 / 2.5 = 19 miles per hour.

Julie's rate = 142.5/2.5 = 57 miles per hour

Is there an easier way?

You should notice that Bill's rate is just x which is 19 miles / hour

You can also notice that Julie is going 3 times as fast or 19*3 = 57

Really need help please help me please please
Maru [420]

Answer:

y = 3/4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

you should only have y in one side and everything in other side of the equation. so you will first have -4y = -3x -12 , then you'll have to divide the right part of the equation by -4 . then you will have y = 3/4x + 3

Graph the line that represents a proportional relationship between yyy and xxx where the unit rate of change of yyy with respect
Rina8888 [55]

The equation of the line of the graph would be, y = 5/3x.

The graph of the line is shown in the diagram attached below.

<h3>What is a Proportional Relationship Graph?</h3>

A proportional relationship is usually defined and expressed as the equation, y = kx, where:

x and y are the two variables that are in a proportional relationship with one another

k is the constant of proportionality or unit rate of change.

The unit rate of change is also the slope of the line that represents the proportional relationship graph, and passes through the point of origin, (0, 0).

Given that the line that represents a proportional relationship between x and y is where the unit rate of change is given as 5/3, the equation of the line of the graph would be, y = 5/3x.

The graph of the line is shown in the diagram attached below.
