Distance to the farm is 24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the speed of Peggy be x mph. Then the speed of Mike is x + 36 mph. Find the equation of distance for Mike and Peggy to the farm.

Time taken by Mike = 0.5 hr

Time taken by Peggy = 2 hrs

Distance is calculated by the equation Distance = Speed × Time

Distance traveled by Mike = (x + 36) × 0.5

Distance traveled by Peggy = x × 2

  • Step 2: Equate the 2 distances of Mike and Peggy as they are the same and find x.

(x + 36) × 0.5 = 2x

0.5x + 18 = 2x

1.5 x = 18

⇒ x = 18/1.5 = 12 mph

  • Step 3: Find the distance to the farm.

Distance to the farm = 2x = 24 miles

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points in slope intercept form
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To put this in slope intercept form, let’s first find the slope

To find slope, use the equation Y2-Y1/X2-X1

When we do this, we get 0-6/0-2

This simplifies out into -6/-2 which is 3

So our slope is 3. Our equation becomes y=3x+b

Now, we find our b

We don’t have to do any solving for this, since we have the point 0,0 listed for us, it goes through the origin and that is our y-intercept or b

So our final equation is y=3x

Hope this helps and have a good day!
