Y= -5/3x + 2
To find slope:
-8-7 / 6 - (-3) = -5/3
Plug in x and y from one of the points to the equation to find b
7 = -5/3 (-3) + b
B = 2
Put it all together:
y = -5/3x + 2
An expression of that statement would look like:
n + 7 • 3
Answer: the speed of the current is 0.6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the current.
James is kayaking. He can row 3 mph in still water. If he can travel 6 miles downstream. Assuming he went with the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 + x)
Time = distance/speed
Time taken to travel downstream is
6/(3 + x)
In the same amount of time, he can travel 4 miles upstream. Assuming he went against the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 - x). Time taken to travel upstream is
4/(3 - x)
Since the time is the same, then
6/(3 + x) = 4/(3 - x)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
6(3 - x) = 4(3 + x)
18 - 6x = 12 + 4x
4x + 6x = 18 - 12
10x = 6
x = 6/10
x = 0.6 mph
Cost of the 3 shirts before tax = 2*49.96 + 1/2 * 49.96
= $124.90
After adding 7.1% tax total cost = 124.90 * 1.071 = $133.77
So the cost od each shirt = 133.77 / 3 = $44.59 (answer)
