Answer:

Total distance traveled in all = 220 miles

Average speed for the entire trip = 44 miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The family traveled from point A to B in 2 hours  at a speed of 55 miles per hour.

Average speed = distance traveled/time taken

Time traveled from point A to B = 2 hours

Average speed from point A to B = 55 miles per hour

using the formula,

55 = Distance traveled from point A to B / 2

cross multiplying

Distance traveled from point A to B = 55 × 2

Distance traveled from point A to B  = 110 miles

The family returned from point B to A , due to snowstorm the family took 3 hours to travel  back to A .

The total travel is the total distance the family covers from point A to B and point B to A.

Since the distance from point A to B is known , point B to A distance is also known.

Total distance covered = distance from point A to B  + distance from point B to A

Total distance covered = 110 + 110 = 220 miles

Total distance traveled in all = 220 miles

Total time traveled = 2 + 3 = 5 hours    

Average speed for the entire trip =  220/5

Average speed for the entire trip = 44 miles per hours

Write an equation of the line through each pair of points in slope-intercept form.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

(6) / (0)

= undefined

If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.

In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.

Therefore, your equation is x = -3.

b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-7) / (-7)

Simplify the fraction.

-7/-7

= 1

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

2 = 1(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

2 = 3 + b

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.

-1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x - 1

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).

y = 1x - 1

-5 = 1(-4) - 1

-5 = -4 - 1

-5 = -5

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!
