Y = x + 3 is the answer
the y-intercept is 3, so the answer should have a "+ 3" in it
when you are trying to determine the gradient (the x), you can use two methods
first method:
picture/sketch the line. If the line is going upwards (from left to right), it's positive. If the line is going downwards (from left to right), it's negative. However, this method only works for this question, you should try using the second method more
second method:
use the formula: (y - y) / (x - x)
So, you use the y from one of the brackets and subtract the y from the other bracket. Then, you put it over the x ,from the same bracket as the first y, and subtract the x from the second bracket. If you are confused, look at the picture. (Sorry for the messy explanation)

Let the slower train's velocity be x-21
Let the faster train's velocity be x
We know that the approach speed is the sum of both speeds, so x+x -21= 2x-21.
The approach rate is given by Distance/time = 471/3 = 157mpH
x+x-21=157
2x=157+21
2x=178
x=89mph
The slower train is travelling 89-21 = 68mph
The faster train is travelling 89mph.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles in a triangle must add up to 180, so the missing angle inside the triangle is 180 - (70 + 40), which is 70.
Angles on a straight line (i.e. the line BD) must add up to 180, and because we know part of that angle is 70, x must be 180 - 70, which is 110.
Hence, x is 110 degrees.
