Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Rate of river current = x km/h

Speed of Peter's boat = 4x km/h

He takes 15 km trip up (opposite direction)

His speed upstream = 4x - x

= 3x

His speed is 3x and distance is 15 km

Time = Distance / Speed

15/3x

= 5/x

And

Moving downstream (same direction)

Speed will be 4x + x = 5x

Distance = 15km,

speed = 5x

Time = Distance / Speed

= 15/5x

= 3/x

Total time take for trip = 4 hours

Total time take for trip = upstream + downstream

4 =5/x + 3/x

4 = 8/x

Cross product

4 * x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Rate of river current = x km/h

= 2 km/h

velikii [3]

Answer:

slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 12) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{12-0}{3-0} = \frac{12}{3} = 4
