Alright

s=number of hours headd south
e=number of hours headed east

s+e=8

and
total is 147 miles
distance=speed times time
15s+24e=147


we got 2 equations


s+e=8
15s+24e=147
subsitution

s+e=8
minus e both sides
s=8-e
subsitut 8-e for s in other equaton

15s+24e=147
15(8-e)+24e=147
120-15e+24e=147
120+9e=147
minus 120 both sides
9e=27
divide both isdes by 9
e=3

sub back
s=8-e
s=8-3
s=5

it was headed south 5 miles

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-2) with slope -2.
Virty [35]

Answer:

y + 4 = -2(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute -2 for k and 3 for h, as well as -2 for m:

y + 4 = -2(x - 3).

Consider the following graph.
OLga [1]

The statement best describes Cheryl's computer is option C. Cheryl accelerated to 65 mph, drove at a constant speed for 5.5 minutes, and then decelerated to 45 mph.  

<h3>How to find the function which was used to make graph?</h3>

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

If we know that the function crosses the x-axis at some point, then for some polynomial functions, we have those as roots of the polynomial.

Let's assume the graph of Cheryl's commute was like the one below.

We can see that she started at 0 mph.  

One minute later, she was up to 65 mph, so she had accelerated (increased her speed).

At 6.5 min (5.5 min later) her speed was still 65 mph therefore, she was driving at a constant speed.

Over the next 2.5 min, her speed dropped to 45 mph, therefore she was decelerating.
