<span>The equation that gives the speed of the boat after David has rowed for x hours is </span><span>y=4-1.5x. 
</span>
The direction David is rowing (upstream) is the positive direction. That makes the direction the river is flowing negative. David rows at 6 mph, but the river is flowing at 2 mph in the opposite direction. That means his "net" speed, relative to an observer on the ground, is 6-2 = 4 mph. He loses 1.5 mph of his speed every hour, so after x hours, his speed is 4-1.5x.

What is the slope of the function, represented by the table of values below?
Maslowich
Notice the table of values, thus let's pick two points from it, to check what the slope may be,

\bf \begin{array}{l|ccccccc}&#10;x&-2&\underline{1}&2&\underline{4}&7\\&#10;y&16&\underline{4}&0&\underline{-8}&-20&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~{{ 1}} &,&{{ 4}}~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -8}}~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-8-4}{4-1}\implies \cfrac{-12}{3}\\\\\\ \cfrac{-4}{1}\implies -4

Solve the following system of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,
choli [55]
The second equation is <span>-5-2y=2, then
</span>
<span>-2y=2-(-5),
</span>
-2y=2+5,
-2y=7,
y=7÷(-2),
y=-3.5.
The first equation is 2x+5y=16, subtitude y=-3.5 in this equation, then
2x+5·(-3.5)=16,
2x-17.5=16,
2x=16-(-17.5),
2x=16+17.5,
2x=33.5,
x=33.5÷2,
x=16.75.
Answer: (16.75,-3.5)
