Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply


Add 2x on both sideds

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Y=-1/2x+8
perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2
y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8

Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
63.96+(.08x)=55.96+(.12x). x=200. 63.96+(.08x200)=79.96. 55.96+(.12x200)= 79.96
Answer:
Not quite sure what you are aiming for in this question; however, I guess that is true? A blind man wouldn´t simply rely on a lamp-post to get around. I guess what is being said is that statistics should be used when it is useful? There are plenty of ways people can analyze that statement.
