Answer:

The equation you are asking for is

40*(t+3) = 55*t,

where t is the time counted after the second car started.

The equation says that the distance covered by each car from the starting point to the catching point is the same for both cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line 8x – 4y = 8\ (hint: find 2 points; then use the slope formula)
vodka [1.7K]
Or you can do the easy way

convert to slope intercept
y=mx+b
m=slope

get 1y all by itself

8x-4y=8
minus 8x both sides
-4y=-8x+8
divide both sides by -4
y=2x-2
y=mx+b
slope is 2

the hack way is
for an equatoin in standard form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b



slope=2



if  you want to graph 2 points and do it the long way, here it is
if x=0, y=-2
if y=0, x=1
(0,-2) and (1,0)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(0-(-2))/(1-0)=2/1=2



slope is 2
