Answer:

  1 hour after they leave

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance each travels is proportional to its speed. The given speeds are at right angles to each other in a 5:12 ratio. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the hypotenuse of such a right triangle will have length ...

  √(5²+12²)=√169 = 13

That is the speeds are in the ratio 5:12:13, where 13 represents the relative separation speed. Actual speeds are then 50 mph : 120 mph : 130 mph.

So the distance between the boat and steamer will be increasing at 130 mph. The distance will be 130 miles after 1 hour.

Find a linear inequality with the following solution set. Each grid line represents one unit. [asy] size(200); fill((-2,-5)--(5,
kykrilka [37]

The linear inequality of the graph is: -x + 2y + 1 > 0

<h3>How to determine the linear inequality?</h3>

First, we calculate the slope of the dashed line using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Two points on the graph are:

(1, 0) and (3, 1)

The slope (m) is:

m = \frac{1 - 0}{3 - 1}

This gives

m = 0.5

The equation of the line is calculated as:

y = m(x -x_1) + y_1

So, we have;

y = 0.5(x -1) + 0

This gives

y = 0.5x -0.5

Multiply through by 2

2y = x - 1

Now, we convert the equation to an inequality.

The line on the graph is a dashed line. This means that the inequality is either > or <.

Also, the upper region of the graph that is shaded means that the inequality  is >.

So, the equation becomes

2y > x - 1

Rewrite as:

-x + 2y + 1 > 0

So, the linear inequality is: -x + 2y + 1 > 0
