Solution :
y - 6 = -6 (x + 1)
y - 6 = -6x - 6
y = -6x - 6 + 6
y = -6x - 0
-6x - y - 0 = 0
y = -6x
<span>The first quartile is the same as the median of the data which are less than the overall median. Same as the 25th percentile.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
Let the slower cars speed equal X.
The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).
They traveled for 3 hours
Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.
So you have:
3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles
Simplify the left side:
3X + 3X+15 = 267
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 267
Subtract 15 from each side"
6x = 252
Divide each side by 6:
x = 252 / 6
X = 42
The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.
