Let, snake catches the mouse in t hours. Till then mouse is travelling from
( t + 1.5 ) hours.
Distance, travelled by mouse in t hours is, 
.
To catch the mouse snake had to travel the same distance d in t hours.
So,
Therefore, snake will catch mouse in 1.5 hours.
The two expressions are equivalent because they have the same value regardless of the number of substituted in for y
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where
m = slope
c = intercept
The equation of the given line is
y = 47x - 3
Comparing with the slope intercept equation, m = 47
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line passing through (14, 4) is 47
We would determine the intercept, c by substituting m= 47, x = 14 and y = 4 into y = mx + c. It becomes
4 = 47× 14 + c
4 = 658 + c
c = 4 - 658 = - 654
The equation becomes
y = 47x - 654
5(0.85)t < 1.5 is 15% decay
50(1.05)t < 100 is 5% growth
150(1.50)t > 500 is 50% growth
50(1.15)t < 150 is 15% growth
The slope of the line is 3/2
