Answer:
y=-1/7x + 12/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by finding the slope
m=(1-0)/(-5-2)
m=-1/7
next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1=1
x1= -5
m=-1/7
y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)
y-1=-1/7(x+5)
Distribute -1/7 first
y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7
Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7
y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)
y=-1/7x+12/7
the answer is 7 because all of the other numbers opposites aren't negative
Yes. For example x=-1 and y=-1/2
I do not have an answer for that, but you should try looking for that on google or yahoo answers.
Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
