The distance in between your given points is 11.4.
Y=2x-1 because (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) is 10/5 which is two. Using point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) we find y=2x+1.
Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours
Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,
⇒ 
And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
⇒ 
According to the question,
Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles
⇒ 

⇒
