Answer:
Distance between B and C = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken to reach from station A to B be x hr
Let the time taken to reach from station B to C be y hr
Given total time from station A to C be 6 hr
∴ x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 - x → (1)
Also total distance given is 285 miles
As 
∴ distance travelled between station A and B
=
distance travelled between station B and station C
=
So, 40x + 55y = 285
⇒ 40x + 55(6 -x) = 285 (From 1)
=> 40x + 330 - 55x = 285
=> -15x = 285 - 330
=> -15x = -45 ⇒ x=3
gives y = 6-3 = 3 hours
Distance between B and C = 
Answer:
y = x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the straight line which is perpendicular to the straight line y = -x -3, will be y = x + c' ....... (1), where c' is a constant.
{This is because the product of the slopes of two mutually perpendicular straight line is -1}
Now, (3,-5) point satisfies equation (1).
Hence, -5 = 3 +c', ⇒c' = -8.
Therefore, the equation of the required straight line in slope-intercept form is y = x - 8 (Answer)
{Note: The slope-intercept form of a straight line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line i.e. tanФ, and c is the length of y-axis intercept.}
The fourth answer is right
