Three hours after the bus starts out, it's 150 miles ahead of the truck. Then the truck starts out, and it gains (65-50)=15 miles on the bus every hour. If neither of them ever stops for anything, the truck will catch up to the bus in ( 150/15 ) = 10 hours. . . . (The hint is useless.)

Applying Rate of change
olga nikolaevna [1]
\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
minutes(x)&Mbs\ left(y)\\
-----&-----\\
2&38.4\\
8&9.6
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \textit{rate of change}
\\\\\\
m=\cfrac{9.6-38.4}{8-2}\implies m=-\cfrac{24}{5}\iff m= -4.8

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing,  namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded

so is -4.8

now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done

so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes

now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5,   let us nevermind the sign for now

since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5

how much is it for 10 minutes?   well 10 is really just 5 * 2

so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 2. Leave your answer in the form ax + by =
Arte-miy333 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

normally, if we have the gradient (or slope of inclination or change rate) and a point, we start using the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

with (x1, y1) being a point on the line, and a being the slope of gradient (or ... however you want to call it).

y - 1 = 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

y + 3 = 2x

2x - y = 3
