55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

The graph of a linear function passes through the point (-1, 2) and has a slope of 3. What is the equation of the function in sl
Harman [31]

Answer:

The equation of the function in slope-intercept form is y = 3 x + 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A line passes through the point ( - 1 , 2 )

i.e ( x , y ) = ( - 1 , 2 )

The slope of the line is 3

The equation of line in slope intercept form

y - \textrm y_1 = m ( x - \textrm x_1 )

Where m is the slope of the line

So, y - 2 = 3 ( x - ( - 1 ) )

Or, y - 2 = 3 ( x + 1 )

Or, y - 2 = 3 x + 3

Or, y = 3 x + 3 + 2

∴   y = 3 x + 5

Hence The equation of the function in slope-intercept form is y = 3 x + 5 . Answer
