Answer:
The answer is 4 + 3/6 + 2/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph
we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7
</span>
let the distance be d
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>

Answer:
y = 1/3 x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given; the line is passing through, (-6,5) and the slope is 1/3
We can get its equation;
We would take, a point (x,y) and the given point (-6,5)
Therefore; Since slope = Δy/Δx
Then;
(5-y)/ (-6-x) = 1/3
3(5-y) = -6 -x
15 - 3y = -6 - x
we get;
3y = 6 + x + 15
3y = x + 21
Therefore;
<u>y = 1/3 x + 7</u>
