Answer: Approximately 54.7826 mph

As a fraction, this average speed is exactly 1260/23 mph.

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

Work Shown:

"Alice drove 30 miles...at 45 mph". This means

t = d/r

t = 30/45

t = 2/3

She drove for 2/3 of an hour, which is (2/3)*60 = 40 minutes.

Then "she drove home at 70 mph". She drove the same distance, meaning,

t = d/r

t = 30/70

t = 3/7

She drove for 3/7 of an hour, which is roughly (3/7)*60 = 25.714 minutes.

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

Add up the time values

(2/3 hr) + (3/7 hr)

(2/3 + 3/7) hr

(14/21 + 9/21) hr

23/21 hr

She spent 23/21 of an hour driving going to the auto shop and then back home. The total distance she traveled was 30+30 = 60 miles.

Use these values to find the speed

r = d/t

r = d divided by t

r = 60 divided by (23/21)

r = (60/1) divided by (23/21)

r = (60/1) * (21/23)

r = (60*21)/(1*23)

r = 1260/23

r = 54.7826

Her average speed for the round trip is about 54.7826 mph.

X = y - 3
Leviafan [203]
The answer is A. (1, 4), because when the values are substituted in to the equations, you get 1 = 4 - 3 and 1 + 12 = 13, which are both correct. I hope this helps!

7. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line graphed below.​
Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer to your question is y = \frac{-1}{2} x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Get to points of the line

    A (-2, 0)

    B (0, -1)

2.- Find the slope of the line

Slope = m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Substitution

             m = \frac{-1 - 0}{0 + 2} = \frac{-1}{2}

3.- Find the equation of the line

              y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

              y - 0 = -1/2(x + 2)

Simplification

                   y = -1/2x - 1
