Train X is traveling at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and Train Y is traveling at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour.

If the two trains are traveling in the same direction along the same route but Train X is 25 miles ahead of Train Y, how many hours will it be until Train Y is 10 miles ahead of Train X?

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of train X=30 mph

Speed of train Y=40  mph

Relative speed When the two trains travelling in same direction

Relative speed=40-30=10 mph

Total distance =25+10=35 miles

We have to find the time when train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

We know that

Time=\frac{Distance}{Relative\;speed}

Using the formula

Then, we get

Time=\frac{35}{10}=3.5 hours

Hence, it will be 3.5 hours until train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

Answer:

3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When train Y is at position 0 train  X is at position 25.

Speed = distance / time.

Suppose the distance  travelled by train X  before  Train Y catches up with him is x miles.

Then we have the system

30 = x/ t

40 = (x + 25) / t     where t is the time in hours.

x = 30t  plug this into the second equation

40 = ( 30t + 25) / t

40t  = 30t + 25

10t = 25

t = 2.5 hours.

Now the time taken for  train Y to get 10 miles ahead  is calculated as follows:

Combined speed = 40 - 30 = 10 mph.

so 10 = 10/t

t = 1 hours.

Answer is 3.5 hours.

Quadrilateral KLMN is a rectangle. The coordinates of L are L(1,-4), and the coordinates of Mare M(3,-2). Find the slopes of sid
lozanna [386]
L(1, -4)=(xL, yL)→xL=1, yL=-4
M(3, -2)=(xM, yM)→xM=3, yM=-2

Slope of side LM: m LM = (yM-yL) / (xM-xL)
m LM = ( -2 - (-4) ) / (3-1)
m LM = ( -2+4) / (2)
m LM = (2) / (2)
m LM = 1

The quadrilateral is the rectangle KLMN
The oposite sides are: LM with NK, and KL with NK
In a rectangle the opposite sides are parallel, and parallel lines have the same slope, then:
Slope of side LM = m LM = 1 = m NK = Slope of side NK
Slope of side NK = m NK = 1

Slope of side KL = m KL = m MN = Slope of side MN

The sides KL and LM (consecutive sides) are perpendicular (form an angle of 90°), then the product of their slopes is equal to -1:
(m KL) (m LM) = -1
Replacing m LM = 1
(m KL) (1) = -1
m KL = -1 = m MN

Answer:
Slope of side LM =1
Slope of side NK =1
Slope of side KL = -1
Slope of side MN = -1
