Answer:
(x1, y1) = (3, 1)
(x2, y2) = (2,4)
the slope is
m= y2−y1/x2−x1 = 4-1/2-3 = 3/-1 = <u>-3</u>

There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)
There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.
How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.
The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope
(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2
The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is
(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2
The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.
Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.
Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
