Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(5,3)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 3
(8,-2)..x2 = 8 and y2 = -2
now we sub
slope = (-2 - 3) / (8 - 5) = -5 / 3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/3
use either of ur points..(5,3)...x = 5 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -5/3(5) + b
3 = -25/3 + b
3 + 25/3 = b
9/3 + 25/3 = b
34/3 = b

ur equation is y = -5/3x + 34/3...but we need it in standard form

y = -5/3x + 34/3
5/3x + y = 34/3
5x + 3y = 34 <=== standard form

OLga [1]

Answer:

3.54 and 1.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two towns are 1,100 miles apart.

A group of hikers Starts from each town and walks down the trail toward each other..

They meet after a total hiking time of 240 hours.

If one group travels 2 1/2 mile per hour slower than the other group.

Question asked:

Find the rate of each group.

Solution:

Let speed of faster hiker = $x\ mph$

Speed of slower hiker = $x-\frac{5}{2}\ mph$

As we know:

$Distance=speed\times time$

Total distance between two town = Total combined speed of both hikers $\times$ Total combined time taken

$1100=(x+x-\frac{5}{2} )\times240\\ \\ Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 240\\ \\ 4.58=(x+x-\frac{5}{2} )\\ \\ 4.58=2x-\frac{5}{2} \\ \\Adding\ both\ sides\ by\ \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ 4.58+ \frac{5}{2}=2x- \frac{5}{2}+ \frac{5}{2}\\ \\ \frac{2\times4.58+5}{2} =2x\\ \\ \frac{14.16}{2} =2x\\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ 2\times2x=14.16\\ \\ 4x=14.16$
