Answer:

y =-2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let A(2,3) B(1,5)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(5-3)/(1-2) = 2/-1 =-2

an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope

y = -2x +b

the line through point (2,3) : 3 = (-2)(2)+b

b = 7

Answer:

The groups walking speed is $1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}$ or $1.875\frac{miles}{hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the distance by the time

$\frac{(3/8)}{(1/5)}=\frac{15}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}$
