1. A line passes through the point (2, k) and (4k, 5) and has a slope of 1/2 . Find the value of k.
Doss [256]

(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{k})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4k}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{5}-\stackrel{y1}{k}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4k}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}~~= ~~\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}} \\\\\\ 10-2k=4k-2\implies 10=6x-2\implies 12=6k\implies \cfrac{12}{6}=k\implies 2=k

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 270 270 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 24 24 miles per hour
Ber [7]

Answer:

He drove there at 60 mph, and he drove back at 36 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

one way distance = d = 270 miles

average speed on way back = s

average speed on the way there = s + 24

time driving there = t

time driving back = 12 - t

average speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

going there:

270 = (s + 24)t

270 = st + 24t

going back

270 = s(12 - t)

270 = 12s - st

We have a system of equations:

270 = st + 24t

270 = 12s - st

Solve the first equation for t.

t(s + 24) = 270

t = 270/(s + 24)

Substitute in the second equation.

270 = 12s - s[270/(s + 24)]

270 = 12s - 270s/(s + 24)

Multiply both sides by s + 24.

270s + 6480 = 12s^2 + 288s - 270s

12s^2 - 252s - 6480 = 0

Divide both sides by 12.

s^2 - 21s - 540 = 0

(s - 36)(s + 15) = 0

s = 36 or s = -15

The average speed cannot be negative, so we discard the solution s = -15.

s = 36

s + 24 = 60

Answer: He drove there at 60 mph, and he drove back at 36 mph.
