We have to deal with the distance in more detail
If the turtle is 11 times faster than the snail, the amount of distance he will cover is 11 times more.
d/(360 - d) = 1/11
11d = 360 - d
12d = 360
d =  30  The Snail covers 30 meters. The turtle covers 11*30 = 330 meters.

Answers
Rate of snail = 30 meters / 40 minutes = 3/4 meter / minute
Rate of turtle = 330 meters / 40 minutes = 8.25 meters / minute.

How to find slope and y intercept from the equation ax+by=c?
melisa1 [442]

solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b.   "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

ax + by = c

      by = -ax + c          <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>

       y  = (-a/b)x  + c/b     <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>

Answer: slope is -a/b    and y-intercept is c/b
