Answer:
2 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the miles per hour of each person
Formula = Distance in miles/ Time in hours
a) For Pepe
Pepe averaged a speed of 4/5 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour
Hence,
= 4/5 miles / 1/10 hour
= 4/5 miles ÷ 1/10 hour
= 4/5 miles × 10/1 hour
= 8 miles per hour
b) For Paula
Paula averaged 5/6 of a mile in 1/12 of an hour.
Hence,
= 5/6 miles / 1/12 hour
= 5/6 miles ÷ 1/12 hour
= 5/6 miles × 12 hour
= 10 miles per hour
Therefore, In miles per hour, the number of miles Paula ran faster than Pepe is calculated as:
10 miles per hour - 8 miles per hour
= 2 miles per hour
Plug it into point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where y1 is the y-value of the point, x1 is the x-value, and 'm' is the slope.
So plug in -1 for x1, 2 for y1, and 0.9 for 'm':
y - 2 = 0.9(x + 1)
Simplify to get in slope-intercept form:
Distribute 0.9 into the parenthesis:
y - 2 = 0.9x + 0.9
Add 2 to both sides:
y = 0.9x + 2.9
