James is running late to his cousin's wedding and drives the 45 miles between his house and the wedding location 20 miles per ho
netineya [11]

Answer:

(r + 20)t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is constant in the scenario above, distance from home to wedding and wedding back home is the same.

From wedding back home. :

Recall : Distance = speed * time

Distance = r * 1 hour

From home to wedding :

Speed = 20 mph more ; r + 20

Time = t

Distance = (r + 20)* t = (r +20)t

Since the distance are the same, we can equate both :

(r + 20)t = r * 1

= (r + 20)t = r

I need help finding the slope
grin007 [14]

answer:
-1

work:

y = mx+ b

so we can tell that the Y intercept is 1, so we can plug that in. ( + b is the y-intercept)

y = mx + 1

plug in some values to find the slope.
(-1, 2)
2 = -m + 1
- 1       - 1

1 = -1m 
/-1   /-1

-1 = m
the slope is -1.

i hope this helps! :D
