Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.

What function is shown in the graph above?
Verizon [17]

By definition of <em>linear</em> functions and the comparison with the attached figure, the function that represents the graph is y = (7/15) · x + 4, - 6 ≤ x ≤ 9.

<h3>What kind of function represents the graph?</h3>

Graphically speaking, <em>linear</em> functions represent lines and we see that the line seen in the figure presents two bounds, the points (- 6, 0) and (9, 7). <em>Linear</em> functions are characterized by slope and intercept:

y = m · x + b     (1)

Slope

m = (7 - 0)/[9 - (- 6)]

m = 7/15

Intercept

b = 4

By definition of <em>linear</em> functions and the comparison with the attached figure, the function that represents the graph is y = (7/15) · x + 4, - 6 ≤ x ≤ 9.
