Answer:

1.5 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

d is the David's speed in still water

c is the speed of the current

Going with the current, he travels d+c km per hour.

Going against the current, he travels d-c km per hour.

d+c = (20 km)/(2.5 hours) = 8 km/hour

d-c = (20 km)/(4 hours) = 5 km/hour

Add the equations to eliminate the c terms

d+c = 8

d-c = 5

----------

2d = 13

d = 6.5 km/hour

c = 8-d = 1.5 km/hour

M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates (-6, -6) and M has coordinates (1, 2). Find the coordinates of N.
Cloud [144]
The midpoint, M, of points A and N is (8,10) because;
Point A is (-6,-6) which has a slope of 8/7 (rise/run) with M, (1,2). So, if 8/7 is repeated/ added to M, it will be point N.
1+7=8 (run/x)
2+8=10 (rise/y)
Put x and y together to get (8,10).
N= (8,10).
