Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph

we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7 
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7 
</span>
let the distance be d 
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream 
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14 
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>

Answer:

1. x = independent variable: Age

y = dependent variable: Accidents

2. Age scale and Accidents scale

The scale for age ranges from 15 - 30 with the value of 5 difference between each number.

While the accidents scale ranges from 0 -1 with no difference in between.

3. In my opinion, the scatter plot looks as though it decreases in accidents once the age rises. As seen from the data shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x is considered as  the independent variable, while y is considered the dependent value.

2) There are two sets of scales, one for the x and the other for y. These scales are the values that are interpreted in order to show data of the graph, due to their number and various size(s).

3) If you were to draw a line through the graph, you can somewhat create the image that the line would go down into the right corner! Meaning that it is decreasing over time.
