Answer:

c = 22.8 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The ship A sails north at the rate of 14 mile per hour , it represent the opposite side of a triangle. Ship B start at the same point and move east at the rate of 18 miles per hour, it represent the adjacent side.

The other rate telling you how fast the distance between them are changing can be computed using the Pythagorean theorem, since the change in time is 1 hour. From 12 noon to 1 pm.

c = ?

a = 14

b = 18

c² = a² + b²

c² = 14² + 18²

c² = 196  + 324

c² = 520

c = √520

c = 22.803508502

c = 22.8 miles/hr

4. What is the equation of line passing through (-2,4) and parallel to the line y<br> + 3x = 4?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

y=-3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1- find the slope

parallel to means same slope, so look at y+3x=4, its not in the correct slope form so we subtract both sides by 3x to get y=-3x+4, the slope is the coefficient of x which is -3. Slope equals 3

step 2- use the point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

and substitute in the numbers (only substitute y1,x1, and m)

m is the slope which we found to equal -3

x1 and y1 are the points that they gave us (-2,4) are (x1,y1)

x1=-2

y1=4

step 3- substitute

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=-3(x-(-2))

simplifies to y-4=-3x-6

add 4 to both sides to get y=-3x-2
