First, let's find the x and y intercepts
In the first equation
y - 4x = -1
Put x =0
y= - 1
(0, -1)
Put y=0 and the n solve for x
0 - 4x = -1
-4x = -1
x=0.25
(0.25 , 0)
The points for the first equation is (0, -1 ) and (0.25, 0)
Next is to find the intercts for the second equation
y + x = 4
put x=0
y = 4
(0, 4)
Put y =0
0 + x = 4
x = 4
( 4, 0)
The points for the second equation are;
(0, 4) and (4, 0)
Below is the graph
Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.
<u>Solution:</u>
Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist
So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist
We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,
West-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles
East-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles
On solving,
Distance apart = 162
So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be
