A car trip from New York to Cincinnati took 12.5 hours. The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer.

Let x be the speed of the car

Car trip from New York to Cincinnati

We know Distance D = speed * time

time = 12.5 hours and speed =x

D = 12.5x

Return trip

The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer. So 12.5+1 = 13.5 hours

he average rate of speed was 4 mph less. So speed is x-4

Distance D = speed * time

time = 13.5 hours and speed =x-4

D = (x-4)*13.5

D= 13.5x-54

The distance of ongoing trip and return trip are same

So we equate both the distance equations D= 13.5x-54  and D= 12.5x

12.5x = 13.5x-54    

Subtract  13.5 on both sides

-1x = -54

x=54

speed of ongoing trip = 54 miles per hour

Distance D = 12.5x = 12.5 * 54=675 miles

The length of the route = 675 miles

What is the value of x?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
We can use the Pythagorean theorum

a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2 is the length of the longest side squared

so 

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36+ b^2 = 100
-36               -36

b^2 = 64

b = 8

b is the same thing as your "x", so x = 8

Can someone help me find the slope?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take 2 points from the table given, then you use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 to find your slope. So, if I take the coordinates (7,1) and (7,2) and plug them into my equation, I would get 2-1/7-7. If you solve this equation, you will end up wil 1/0. Now, if you have something like this as your answer, you can not find your slope. There can not be a slope because the zero is at the bottom, making this "Undefined".
