Answer:

It'll take 7 hours for the car B to cath up to A

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we can write the equation from the distance of each car. Assuming that t = 0 happens when the second car leaves Toronto. When the second car leaves Toronto, the first one is on the road for two hours already, thefeore it travelled a total of:

distance = speed*time = 70*2 = 140

We have:

Car A:

x(t) = 70*t + 140

Car B:

x(t) = 90*t

We now need to find the value of "t" that makes x(t) the same for both cars:

90*t = 70*t + 140

20*t = 140

t = 140 / 20 = 7 h

This is a linear relationship as the rate of change is constant, ie constant velocity.  And the slope represents the velocity, and slope is:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(50-25)/(2-1)=25/1

m=25

So the rate of change is 25 mph

Seven feet below sea level is farther below sea level than 4 1/2 feet below sea level
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
7 ft below sea level is is farther below sea level than 4 1/2 ft below sea level. This is because:
7-4 1/2
=7-4.5
=2.5 ft
this means that 7 ft below sea level is 2.5 ft deeper than 4.5 ft deep below sea level. Literally, it is the measure of how deep the length goes below the surface of the sea.
