Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

let's say the boat's rate is "b" in still water, and the current's rate is "c"

as the boat goes upstream, is not really going "b" fast, the water is not still anyway, is going much slower, is going " b - c ", because the current's rate is eroding speed because is going against the current.

as the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going " b + c " fast, because is going downstream and thus with the current and the current is adding speed to it.  notice, it takes longer going up, 5hrs, then coming down, 3hrs, same 150 on each way.

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&150&b-r&5\\
downstream&150&b+r&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
150=(b-r)5\\
\qquad \frac{150}{5}=b-r\\
\qquad 30=b-r\\
\qquad 30+r=\boxed{b}\\
150=(b+r)3\\
\qquad \frac{150}{3}=b+r\\
\qquad 50=b+r\\
\qquad 50=\boxed{30+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's the boat's rate? well, 30+r = b

What the slope (0,-1) and (2,-5)​
34kurt

Answer:

-4/2, or finding slope is (difference of y)/(difference of x) inserting those numbers into the equation would be (-5-(-1))/(2-0), which would become -4/2, which is basically -2.

How is a calculation of net worth different from a day-to-day or month-to-month tallying of expenses?
alina1380 [7]
The difference in tallying of expenses from a day to day and month to month is the consistency. in a day to day basis it is consistent the time for a day is 24 hrs it will not change, so you will really know why the expenses goes up or down/ unlike for a month to month it is inconsistent,, some months have 30, 31 or 28 days in a month.
