Answer:
y = 3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is linear and expressed in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given (0, - 2 ) then c = - 2
Calculate the multiplier using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1,1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = = 3, hence
y = 3x - 2 ← equation relating x and y
Answer:
The speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
With a small boat, Ryan wants to row towards an island and come back at a speed of x mph and the island is 20 miles away from him.
Therefore, total 20 + 20 = 40 miles he rowed for 5 hours.
On the way to the island, there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion and on the way back also there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion.
So, in the total journey, he has a speed of (x + 4) mph.
Therefore,
⇒ x + 4 = 8
⇒ x = 4 mph.
Therefore, the speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph. (Answer)
