Answer:

y = -3x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines so slope of the lines will be equal.

m1 = m2

y = mx + b,

y = -3x + b

substituting y = -1 and x = 2

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

therefore, b = -1 + 6

b = 5

by substituting b = +5

therefore, the equation is,

y = -3x + 5

Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time. Niles' sailboat traveled 36 miles at a speed of 6 mph, while

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed or rate at which an object is moving can be computed using the formula:

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

Here:

s = speed

d = distance traveled

t = time taken

It is provided that Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time.

Speed of Niles sailboat is, s₁ = 6 mph.

Distance traveled by Niles' sailboat is, d₁ = 36 miles.

Speed of Bob's sailboat is, s₂ = 16 mph.

Distance traveled by Bob's sailboat is, d₂ = 96 miles.

It took both Niles and Bob the same time to travel the respective distance.

Compute the time it took Niles to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed as follows:

$t_{1}=\frac{d_{1}}{s_{1}}$

$=\frac{36}{6}\\=6$

It took Niles 6 hours to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed.

Compute the time it took Bob to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed as follows:

$t_{2}=\frac{d_{2}}{s_{2}}$

$=\frac{96}{16}\\=6$

It took Bob 6 hours to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed.

Thus, Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.
