Given:
The points are (-3, 2) and (2, -13).
To find:
Slope-intercept form of the equation.
Solution:
Here
.
Slope of the line:



m = -3
Using point-slope formula:




Add 2 on both sides.


Slope-intercept form of the equation is y = -3x - 7.
Set up the following equations:


x represents car A's speed, and y represents car B's speed.
We'll use elimination to solve this system of equations. Multiply the first equation by 7:


Combine both equations:

Divide both sides by 28 to get x by itself:

The speed of car A is
80 mph.Since we now know the value of one of the variables, we can plug it into the first equation:


Subtract 160 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 2 to get y by itself:

The speed of car B is
60 mph.
