Answer:

A=368 miles

B= 356.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the two trains be A and B

A+B=724.3----------1

A-B=11.7--------------2

From eqn 1

A= 724.3-B

put this in place of A in eqn 2

724.3-B-B= 11.7

724.3-2B= 11.7

724.3-11.7= 2B

712.6=2B

B= 712.6/2

B= 356.3 miles

Put B=356.3 in eqn 1

A+356.3=724.3----------1

A= 724.3-356.3

A=368 miles

Can someone tell me the slope ?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line when knowing 2 points by using the slope formula, \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of the first point, respectively. x_2 and y_2 represent the x and y values of the second point, respectively.

The two points we have are (2,8) and (0,0). So, in this case, x_1 = 2, y_1 = 8, x_2 = 0, and y_2 = 0. Let's substitute those values into the formula and solve to get the slope:

m  = \frac{0-8}{0-2}

\frac{-8}{-2}

4

So, the slope is 4.

Explain how you can determine whether or not a number is rational
Darina [25.2K]
The easiest way to tell if a number is rational or not is to attempt to express it as a fraction. If you can, then the number is rational. If not, then the number is irrational. All integers are rational numbers, because they can be written as a fraction (for example, the integer 8 = 8/1). But numbers like pi or sqrt(2) cannot be written as a fraction and are not rational.
