Answer:
1hour is 615 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by seeing where the lines go. They cross (intersect) at (1, -1). We can use this to check later.
Now for slope: green is -4/2 = -2
pink is 4/2 = 2
Now we can create the equations
Let's make green = g(x) and pink = p(x)
if we use y = mx + b, then the green has a y-intercept (b) of +1
So g(x) = -2x + 1
pink has a y-intercept of -3, so p(x) = 2x - 3
Now let's plug n play: put our solutions x into each equation and confirm that it makes the y = -1
g(x) = -2x + 1 = -2(1) + 1 = -2+1 = -1
p(x) = 2x - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = 2-3 = -1
✔ YES THEY ARE CONFIRMED
Selection B is appropriate.
_____
It takes 12 times as long to fill the whole tank as it does to fill 1/12 of the tank.
.. 12 * (1/3 hour) = (1/3)*12 hour
