Answer:

<h2>Frank speed = 37mi/h</h2><h2>Gregory speed = 59mi/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Frank be x and speed of Gregory be y. If Gregory drives 22 miles per hour faster than Frank, then y = 22+x. SInce they they are 216miles apart after 2.25 hours,

Speed = Distance/Time

Total time travelled by them = 2.25hours

Total distance = 216 hours

Total speed = x+y = x+22+x

Substituting this parameters into the formula given to get x we will have;

x+22+x = 216/2.25

2x+22 = 96

2x = 96-22

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37

<em>Hence the speed of Frank is 37miles per hour while that of gregory is 37+22 = 59miles/hour</em>

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-1, 2)  ==> A'(-2, 4)

B(3,1) ==> B'(6,2)

C(1,-4) ==> C'(2,-8)

Based on the results of each set, the scale factor is 2

A(-1*2, 2*2)=  A'(-2, 4)

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point ( -6 , 2 ) and is parallel to the line y = 1/2x + 4.
SashulF [63]
Parallel lines need the same slope, and for y = 1/2x + 4, it is 1/2.

Let's solve for b.

2 = 1/2(-6) + b
2 = -3 + b
Add 3 on both sides.
5 = b

y = 1/2x + 5
