Answer:
u = -2

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

We are given :
slope = 1/8
point (u,-9) represent (x1,y1)
point (6,-8) represent (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation and solve for u as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
1/8 = (-8--9) / (6-u)
1/8 = (1) / (6-u)
1* (6-u) = 1*8
6-u = 8
u = 6-8
u = -2

Hope this helps :)

Need help please...answer correctly ​
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

9.09

Step-by-step explanation:

x=speed of boat

y=speed of water current

Downstream relative speed = x+y

Upstream relative speed = x-y

Distance remains the same for both upstream and downstream.

a) Distance travelled downstream = speed x time = 3(x+y)

Distance travelled upstream = speed x time = 3.6(x-y)

b) Since both distances are equal, we can write

3(x+y)= 3.6(x-y)

3x+3y = 3.6x-3.6y

6.6y = 0,6x

x=11y: y=x/11

c) Water current has speed as 1/11 times of that of boat

In percent this equals 100/11 = 9.09%

When the square of a certain number is diminished by 9 times the number the result is 36?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
X²-9x=36
minus 36 both sides
x²-9x-36=0
what 2 numbers multiply to -36 and add to -9
-12 and 3
(x-12)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x-12=0
x=12

x+3=0
x=-3



the number is either -3 or 12
