Answer:

The distance from Greentown to Glenavon is D1 = g*(15+x) miles downstream.

The distance from Glenavon to Cambria is D2 = g*(15-x) miles upstream.

The difference D1 - D2 is 2 miles, according to the condition.

It gives you an equation g*(15+x) - g*(15-x) = 2, which you can easily solve and find "x", the rate of the current. x = 1/g miles per hour.

1. What is the slope of the graph of y = 5x - 9?*

If it’s in slope intercept I pretty sure the slope should be 5 because if y=mx+b and the m is slope then slope should be 5

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below? coordinate plane showing the points 1, 2; 2, 2; 3, 2; 4, 2
prisoha [69]

We will start with plotting the x coordinates and y coordinates on the graph

The points 1, 2; 2, 2; 3, 2; 4, 2  have been plotted on the graph which has been attached as an image to the solution.

We can see that the value of y is staying constant (2) for all values of x.

Hence, the points represent the equation y = 2.
