<h3>Answer:  6 mph</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

distance = rate*time

90 = r*t

where r is the slower speed and t is the time it takes when going that slower speed.

If r is bumped up 24 mph faster, to r+24, then Santos takes t-12 hours to get there. The second equation is

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

-------------------------------------

We can solve the first equation for r to get r = 90/t

Then plug this into the second equation and do a bit of algebra

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

90 = (90/t+24)*(t-12)

90 = 90 - 1080/t + 24t - 288

90t = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t

0 = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t-90t

0 = 24t^2 - 288t - 1080

24t^2 - 288t - 1080 = 0

If you apply the quadratic formula, then you should get the two solutions t = -3 and t = 15. Due to time constraints, I'll skip these steps.

We'll ignore the negative t value. It makes no sense to have a negative time.

So we focus on t = 15 as the only solution.

-------------------------------------

If t = 15, then,

r = 90/t

r = 90/15

r = 6

Santos rode his bike at <u>6 mph</u> at first. Going this speed means he takes 15 hours.

If he rode 24 mph faster, at 6+24 = 30 mph, then he would ride for 15-12 = 3 hours instead. Note that 90/30 = 3.

A line segment has endpoints at (4, –6) and (0, 2). What is the slope of the given line segment? What is the midpoint of the giv
Zigmanuir [339]
1) slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Let A and B be A(4,-6) and B(0,2) ; 

m = [2-(-6)]/[0-4) = (2+6)/(-4) → m = -2 

2) Midpoint = value of x of the midpoint = (x₁+x₂)/2
value of y of the midpoint = (y₁+y₂)/2

x(midpoint) =  (4+0)/2  → x= 2
y(midpoint) =  (-6+2)/2 → y= - 2, so Midpoint M(2,-2)

3) Slope of the perpendicular bisector  to AB:
The slope of AB = m = -2
Any perpendicular to AB will have a slope m' so that m*m' = -1 (or in other term, the slope of one is inverse reciprocal of the second, then if m =-2, then m' = +1/2 ; Proof [ (-2)(1/2) = -1]

4) Note that the perpendicular bisector of AB passes through the midpoint of AB or M(2,-2). Moreover we know that the slope of the bisector is m'= 1/2
The equation of the linear function is :

y = m'x + b or y = (1/2)x + b. To calculate b, replace x and y by their respective values [in M(-2,2)]

2= (1/2).(-2) + b → 2 = -1 + b → and b= 3, hence the equation is:

y = (1/2)x + 3

Find angle sum therom ​
Allisa [31]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180° .

Thus ;

y + 48° + 90° = 180°

y + 138° = 180°

Subtract sides 138°

y + 138° - 138° = 180° - 138° \\

y = 42°
