.108 I hope that this helps
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m is the slope and b is the y intercept<span>.
</span><span>y=mx+b
</span>Pull the values of m and b using the y=mx+b formula<span>.
</span><span>m=7/2,</span>b=−2 where m is the slope and b is the <span>y-intercept</span>
This problem cannot be done because it is not an equation meaning it does not have an “=“
