Answer: Both trains would meet at 1 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time at which both trains will pass each other.

The distance between the cities is 360 miles. This means that by the time both trains meet, the total distance covered would be 360 miles.

Distance = speed × time

The freight train is travelling at 50 mph. Distance covered by the freight train in t hours is 50t.

The passenger train is travelling at 70 mph. Distance covered by the passenger train in t hours is 70t.

Since the total distance covered is 360 miles, it means that

50t + 70t = 360

120t = 360

t = 360/120

t = 3 hours

Both trains would meet at 1 pm

Slope of a parallel line with the points (7,-5) and (-5,7)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: Negative 1  The slope of parallel lines is the same.

The attachment shows two such lines, given coordinates labeled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

 rise/run  

Rise is the difference in y-values  7-(-5)  = 12

Run is the difference between x-values  -5 - 7  = - 12

The Slope is 12/-12   simplify:

slope = -1

The figure is made up of a square and a rectangle. Find the area of the shaded region.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

40 square metres

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded region is of a triangle, whose area is denoted by: A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

Since the left figure is a square with side lengths 10, we know that the height of the triangle is also 10 metres. The right figure is a rectangle with length 4. Since the total base length of the entire figure is 18 and the base of the square is 10, then the width of the rectangle is 18 - 10 = 8 metres.

This width is also the base of the triangle, so b = 8.

Now plug these values into the equation:

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 8 * 10 = (1/2) * 80 = 40

The area is 40 square metres.
