Consider the line y = 2x + 1, shown at the right. Notice that this slope will be the same if the points (1,3) and (2, 5) are used for the calculations. For straight lines, the rate of change<span> (slope) is constant (always the same). For every one unit that is moved on the x-axis, two units are moved on the y-axis.hope this helped. </span>
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Answer:
Congruent or Equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
If in triangles ABC and DEF, AB = DE, AC = DF, and angle A = angle D, then triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. Using words: If 3 sides in one triangle are congruent to 3 sides of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
