If the linear functions have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they will never intercept. If the If the linear functions have the same slope and the same y-intercet, they are the same line. If the linear functions have different slopes and different y-intercepts, they will intercept.
1700m = 40 mins
60 mins = 1 hour
60 mins - 40 mins = 20 mins (Half of more)
1700 / 2 = 850
1700 + 850 = 2550 meter/hour
The two numbers are -18+ 2√(11) and -18 -2√(11).
-18+ 2√(11)+ [-18 -2√(11)]= -36
[-18+ 2√(11)]* [-18 -2√(11)]= 280.
Hope this helps~
