Answer: a=8 and b=1
Step-by-step explanation:
If x represents the paddling speed, and y represents the speed of the current.
Then Relative speed in upstream =x-y
Relative time in downstream=x-y
When she paddles upstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x-y)2 or 2(x-y)=8
Thus we get, a=1
When she paddles downstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x+y)1 or 1(x+y)=8
Thus we get b=1

Choice C) It will use a closed circle
Choice D) The ray will move to the left
=========================================================
Explanation:
The inequality means that x = -8 or x < -8. Since we're including -8 itself, which is the endpoint, we'll use a closed circle. In contrast, an open circle would be used if the inequality was
to exclude the endpoint -8.
The ray is to the left because we're visually describing all values smaller than -8. Such example values are -10 and -22 as these values are to the left of -8 on the number line.
In short, the graph consists of a closed circle at the endpoint -8 and the arrow is to the left. We can say the shading is to the left.
