Answer: Both trains would meet at 1 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time at which both trains will pass each other.
The distance between the cities is 360 miles. This means that by the time both trains meet, the total distance covered would be 360 miles.
Distance = speed × time
The freight train is travelling at 50 mph. Distance covered by the freight train in t hours is 50t.
The passenger train is travelling at 70 mph. Distance covered by the passenger train in t hours is 70t.
Since the total distance covered is 360 miles, it means that
50t + 70t = 360
120t = 360
t = 360/120
t = 3 hours
Both trains would meet at 1 pm
Answer:
Daughter is 6 , mother is 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
