The equation would just be x=8 since the x of both points is 8.
If this an angle on a straight line the answer is k=73°
So y=mx+b
m=slope
y=-3x+b
subsitutue 1 for x and 4 for y
4=-3(1)+b
4=-3+b
add 3 to both sides
7=b
the equaiton is y=-3x+7
The cheetah runs 2 meters/sec faster than the gazelle. Eventually the cheetah will overcome the gazelle. Since distance = rate times time, time = distance/rate.
Thus,
300 meters / (2 meters/sec) = 150 sec = 2 min 30 sec
