Linear, decrease by 2 for every decrease of x.
Answer:
4/9, or 0.4∞
but 0.4∞ has a repeating decimal, so the expanded form is ∞ also
I would go with A but I am not 100% sure so you may want to check however you can.
X miles per hour - <span> speed of the boat in still water
(x - 2) - speed up the river
(x + 2) - speed down the river
</span>

=

30 * (x + 2) = 38 * (x - 2)
30x + 60 = 38x - 76
- 8x = - 136
x =
17 miles per hour - <span>
the speed of the boat in still water.</span>
The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:
x intercept = 9/2
y intercept = -18
In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.
y = 4x - 18
0 = 4x - 18
-4x = -18
x = 9/2
To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.
y = 4x - 18
y = 4(0) - 18
y = 0 - 18
y = -18
