<span>Chris' average speed is 3.5mph:
Lets take Chris' brother speed = B
then Chris speed = (B+ 1) mph-------given in the question
and:
The average speed for covering 18 miles= chris' average speed + his brother's
average speed = (B+ 1) + B
since Speed = Distance covered / time taken
then average speed for 18 miles can also be found by: 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour
then we have; (B+ 1) + B = 6mph
(B +1) = (6-B)
B+B = 6-1=5
2B=5
B=5/2=2.5 mph (this is Chris' brother average speed)
Hence Chris' average speed is = B+1= 2.5+1= 3.5mph</span>
Answer:
there is no y intercept. if there was it would be at the end of -3x
Hi
1.If Mrs.Walters drives 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas , she drives 14.4 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
Work; I made a proportion , but you can just divide 360 and 25 .
x=14.4 miles
If Mr.Walters drives 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas , he drives 15.06 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
x=15.06 miles
2. Mr.Walter because he drives more miles with a gallon .
Work; 15.06 miles is greater than 14.4 miles.
Hope it helps and have a wonderful day.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. So the slope that can be formed given the points (-3,6) and (9,2) is (9-(-3))/(2-6)=12/-4=-3
With y=-3x+b, we need b, which can be found by plugging in either point:
2=-3(9)+b
2=-27+b
29=b
So the y-intercept therefore cannot be 29 but it can be any real number.
So the equation y=-3x+2 works, y=-3x+3, y=-3x+4, and so on....
