1)Sheyna drive to the lake and back. It took two hours less time to get there than it did to get back. The average speed on the

ipn [44]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheyna drives to the lake with average speed of 60 mph and

$v_1 = 60\ mph$

Sheyna drives back from the lake with average speed of 36 mph

$v_2 = 36\ mph$

It took 2 hours less time to get there than it did to get back.

Let $t_1$ be the time taken to drive to lake.

Let $t_2$ be the time taken to drive back from lake.

$t_2-t_1 = 2$ hrs ..... (1)

To find:

Total time taken = ?

$t_1+t_2 = ?$

Solution:

Let D be the distance to lake.

Formula for time is given as:

$Time =\dfrac{Distance}{Speed }$

$t_1 = \dfrac{D}{60}\ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{D}{36}\ hrs$

Putting in equation (1):

$\dfrac{D}{36}-\dfrac{D}{60} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5D-3D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow D = 180\ miles$

So,

$t_1 = \dfrac{180}{60}\ hrs = 3 \ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{180}{36}\ hrs = 5\ hrs$

So, the answer is:

$t_1+t_2 = \bold{8\ hrs}$

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.

Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1

also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2

The equation of line is :

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\y+5=\frac{5+5}{4+1}(x+1)\\y+5=2(x+1)\\y+5=2x+2\\y=2x-3$

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

$y=2x-3\\1=2(a)-3\\1=2a-3\\2a=4\\a=\frac{4}{2}=2$
