This is a simple one.

We dont know how fast it is going downstream, but we do know it took 3 hours to reach the destination. Now, saying that, when coming back we know it took 4 hours(an hour longer than what we took to get there), and we also know we were moving 5 miles slower per hour. If we think a bit, we can see that moving 5 miles slower made us take a whole hour. Making me believe that when we were headed to our destination we were moving at 20 miles per hour, and when we were headed back, we moved at 15mph(20-5)

To check that this was correct, we can just simply check, "okay so from our point to our destination we traveled 60 miles in total. if we went 20 miles an hour, in 3 hours(3×20) we would be at our destination, and if we traveled at 15 miles an hour, it would take us 4 hours to get back to our starting point (4×15)

HOPE THIS HELPED. PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING A <em><u>5</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>STAR</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>A</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>HEART</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>AND</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>MAKING</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>THIS</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>THE</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>BRAINLIEST</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>ANSWER</u></em> THAT WOULD BE SO VERY MUCH APRECIATED!!!!

Answer:

The equation has the form: y = a + b * x where a and b are constant numbers. The variable x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. Typically, you choose a value to substitute for the independent variable and then solve for the dependent variable.

Graph the circle (x+6)^2 + (y+5)^2 =9
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

This a circle centered at the point (-6,-5), and of radius "3" as it is shown in the attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the standard formula for a circle of radius "R", and centered at the point (x_0,y_0) is given by:

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=R^2

Therefore, in our case, by looking at the standard equation they give us, we extract the following info:

1)  R^2 = 9\,\,\,then\,\,\,R=3  since the radius must be a positive number and (R=-3) is not a viable answer.

2) x_0=-6    for ( x-x_0) to equal   (x+6)

3) y_0=-5    for ( y-y_0) to equal   (y+5)

Therefore, we are in the presence of a circle centered at the point (-6,-5), and of radius "3". That is what we draw as seen in the attached image.
