Hello,
slope=2
y-1=2(x-4)
==>y=2x-8+1
==>y=2x-7
or 2x-y=7
Answer:
At 53 mph, he traveled for 1.5 hours
At 58 mph, he traveled for 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically;
distance = speed * time
let the time for the first part of the trip be x hours and the second part be y hours
Total hours is 3.5
So therefore;
x + y = 3.5 ••••••••(i)
Now let’s work with the rate
53 mph for x hours = 53 * x = 53x miles
58 mph for y hours = 58 * y = 58y miles
Adding both;
53x + 58y = 195.5 miles ••••••••(ii)
We have two equations to solve simultaneously
From i, x = 3.5 - y
insert into ii
53(3.5-y) + 58y = 195.5
185.5 - 53y + 58y = 195.5
5y = 195.5-185.5
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2 hours
x = 3.5 - y
x = 3.5 - 2
x = 1.5 hours
