Answer:
the cyclists rode at 35 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then
distance= speed*time
since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :
time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train
thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :
7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph
v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph
v= 35 mph
thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph
2 ways to find the y int.
(1) put the equation in y = mx + b form and the y int will be in the b position
7x - 3y = -5
-3y = -7x - 5
y = 7/3x + 5/3....so 5/3 is ur y int
(2) another way is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y
7(0) - 3y = -5
-3y = -5
y = -5/-3
y = 5/3...ur y int
