A boat traveled 27 miles in 2 hours. At this, how many miles will the boat travel in 1/2 hour?

1 answer:

4 0

You do distance over time to get the rate, so you'd do 27/2= 13.5mph then divide that in half since you're asking for the distance traveled in half that hour so you do 13.5/2 and you get 6.75 miles traveled in half and hour.

First you have to get the equation into slope/intercept format: y = mx + b

$3y > -3+6x\\\\\frac{3y}{3} >\frac{-3+6x}{3} \\y >\frac{3(-1+2x)}{3} \\y > -1+2x\\\\y>2x-1$

So the slope m = 2, and the y-intercept b = -1.

b tells you where the line intersects the y axis. The slope is rise (vertical distance) over run (horizontal distance). I have attached my best attempt at drawing this without graph paper. The dotted line represents the inequality, and the solution set includes the values above the line which is why it is shaded. Hope this helps!
