Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line.
9966 [12]

Answer : <em>Equation of line is</em> y=Equation of line is y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{-5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory :

Equation of line is given as y = mx + c.

Where, m is slope and c is y intercepted.

Slope of given line : y = \frac{2}{3}x+1 is m= \frac{2}{3}

We know that line : y = \frac{2}{3}x+1 is parallel to equation of target line.

therefore, slope of target line will be \frac{2}{3}.

we write equation of target line as y= \frac{2}{3}x+c

Now, It is given that target line passes through point ( -5,-2)

hence, point ( -5,-2) satisfy the target line's equation.

we get,

y= \frac{2}{3}x+c

-2= \frac{2}{3} \times -5+ c

-5= \frac{-10}{3}+c

c= \frac{-5}{3}

thus, Equation of line is y=Equation of line is y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{-5}{3}
