Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
Answer:
y= -2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>slope- intercept form</u><u>:</u>
y= mx +c, where m us the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Let's find the value of m first using the gradient formula.
Gradient=
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= -1, y=3,
3= -2(-1) +c
3= 2 +c
c= 3 -2
c= 1
Thus the equation of the line is y= -2x +1.
