Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in \frac{1}{1.5} minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in \frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50 minutes

= \frac{10.5}{1.5}

=7

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.

How can I find the slope to this I need help​
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Your slope is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the change in x and the change in y and put it in change in y over change in x.

Δx = -1 - -2 = 1

Δy = -1 - 0 = -1

Slope = rise over run = Change in y over change in x =  Δy/Δx = -1/1

Therefore the slope is -1/1 which is written as just -1
