R = speed in still water
r + c = speed with current
r - c = speed against current

3.5(r + c) = 70
r + c = 20
c = 20 - r

4(r + c) = distance from pier to pier
5(r - c) = distance from pier to pier
4(r + c) = 5(r - c)
4(r + 20 - r) = 5(r - 20 + r)
80 = 10r - 100
180 = 10r
18 = r
The speed in still water is 18 km/hour

Well, first, the equation that you are looking for is Y = MX + B. To find B, look at the first dot on the Y-axis. It starts at positive 3, so, you know your equation will end with +3. Next, to find MX, start at the either dot, and find the Rise/Run. In this particular equation, the rise is 1, and, the run is -2, because it's going backwards (negative line). Meaning, the line's equation would be, f( x )= -1/2x + 3.
