The speed of one car is 'S'.  The speed of the other car is (S + 10).

In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels  5(S + 10) miles.

Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.

500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)

500 = 5S  +  5S + 50

500 = 10S + 50

Subtract 50 from each side:

450 = 10S

Divide each side by 10

S = <u>45</u>

S + 10 = <u>55</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 10

x = 8

The y intercept is 0 and the line runs through (0,0)

m = y / x This formula can only be used when the y incept is 0.

m = 10/8

m = 5/4

Equation

y = 5/4 x
