7 0

Answer:

7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the rate of the boat, and s is the rate of the stream, then:

b − s = 4

b + s = 10

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using elimination, add the equations together:

2b = 14

b = 7

The boat's rate is 7 mph.

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Sophie [7]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{slope = \frac{1}{5}}$

Use slope formula to solve for the slope of the line:

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Plug in points into the equation. We can use the points (0, -10) and (25, -5):

$slope = \frac{-5-(-10) }{25 -0 } = \frac{5}{25} = \frac{1}{5}$

Use the scale factor 1:15 to find the missing dimension.

mestny [16]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 m*\frac{1}{15} *\frac{100 cm}{1 m}$

1. Multiply the actual depth my the scale factor of 1/15.

2. Multiply the resulting depth after multiply by the scale factor by the conversion factor of meters to centimeters.

What is the rule for reflecting over y=x+c

asambeis [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the line y = x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places. If you reflect over the line y = -x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places and are negated (the signs are changed). the line y = x is the point (y, x).
