Answer:
y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y - - 3 = 2(x-0)
y + 3 = 2x
y = 2x -3
Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply


Add 2x on both sideds

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Answer:
2^4 or 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^b / a^c = a^(b-c)
2^9 / 2^5
2^(9-5)
2^4 or 16
