Answer:

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat in still water=x km/hr

Speed of stream=y km/hr

Speed of upstream=x-y km/hr

Speed of downstream=x+y km/hr

Let 1/(x-y)=a and 1/(x+y)=b

Time to go 25km up and 44 down=9

25a+44b=9----->(1)

Time to go 15km up and 22km down=5

15a+22b=5------>(2)

(2) × 2=> 30a+44b=10------>(3)

(3)-(1)=>5a=1

a=1/5

1/(x-y)=1/5

x-y=5---->(4)

Putting a=1/5 in (1),

5+44b=9

44b=4

b=1/11

1/(x+y)=1/11

x+y=11---->(5)

(4)+(5)=>2x=16

x=8

y=3

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
Rasek [7]
Parallel to y = 3/4x - 9 and passes through (-8, -18)

Identify the slope : our slope is 3/4

Remember that parallel equations have the same slope, so both slopes are 3/4

Now, we have to find the y-intercept. Simply plug everything into the slope intercept form equation.

y = mx + b

(-18) = (3/4)(-8) + b

Simplify.

-18 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-18 + 6 = b

Therefore, our y-intercept is -12.

Now plug everything into the slope intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 3/4x - 12

Which sampling method is generally considered the weakest?
babunello [35]
Answer – C. (Convenience sampling)

The sampling method that is generally considered the weakest is convenience sampling. This is because in convenience sampling, there is usually no inclusion criteria identified prior to the selection of subjects. Convenience sampling involves getting participants wherever you can conveniently find them. Typically, the first available participants (or any other primary data source, as the case may be) will be used for the research without any additional requirements.Other names by which convenience sampling is known are: Incidental Sampling, Chunk Sampling, and Accidental Sampling.
