Answer: The equations are

6x - 6y = 9

4x + 4y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the row boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

Dana can travel 9 miles in her rowboat in 6 hours against the current. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is

(x - y) miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled against the current is expressed as

9 = 6(x - y)

6x - 6y = 9

With the current, it takes 4 hours to row the same distance. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is

(x + y) miles per hour.

Distance travelled with the current is expressed as

9 = 4(x + y)

4x + 4y = 9

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
Lorico [155]
The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2  and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b  now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.
