Let x mph be the speed for the 110 miles trip. Then for 80 miles,
Speed = (x-20) mph

Time, t = Distance/Speed
On 110 miles, t1 = 110/x hrs
On 80 miles, t2 = 80/(x-20) hrs

Total time = 4 hrs = t1+t2 = 110/x + 80/(x-20)

Solving for x;
4 = [110(x-20) + 80(x)]/x(x-20)
4(x)(x-20) = 110x -2200 + 80x
4x^2 - 80x = 110x - 2200 + 80x
4x^2 -80x -110x  - 80x +2200 = 0
4x^2 -270x +2200 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation;
x = [-(-270)+/- Sqrt ((-270)^2 -4(4)(2200)]/2*4 = 33.75+/- 24.27 = 9.48 mph or 58.02 mph

Ignore the value smaller than 20 as this would yield a negative value of second speed which is not practical.

Therefore, speed in the first 110 miles is 58.02 mph

Answer:

m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. </u>

The slope of x - axis is 0

(why?)

because, slope of a line is given by

\boxed{\mathsf{slope\:of\:a\:line=tan \theta}}

Θ is the angle made by the line with the x- axis.

Here, the line in question is the x- axis itself, and every line makes an angle of 0° with itself.

=> Θ = 0

=> tan Θ = 0

=> slope = 0

and the line in blue is parallel to the X- axis, therefore, it's slope is also 0

(also, a line makes an angle of 0° with the line it's parallel to)
