Answer: 45\ mph,  5\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles upstream and 4 hours to go downstream

Suppose the speed of motorboat in still water and rate of current be x and y respectively.

during upstream

\Rightarrow 5=\dfrac{200}{x-y}\\\\\Rightarrow x-y=40\quad \ldots(i)

During downstream

\Rightarrow 4=\dfrac{200}{x+y}\\\\\Rightarrow x+y=50\quad \ldots(ii)

Add (i) and (ii) we get

\Rightarrow 2x=90\\\Rightarrow x=45\ mph

\therefore y=5\ mph

Thus, the speed of boat in still water is 45\ mph and rate of current is 5\ mph

What is the slope-intercept form of (-2,1) and (4,6)
mash [69]

Answer:

y = \frac{5}{6} x + \frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 6)

m = \frac{6-1}{4+2} = \frac{5}{6} , thus

y = \frac{5}{6} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 6 ), then

6 = \frac{20}{6} + c ⇒ c = 6 - \frac{20}{6} = \frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{5}{6} x + \frac{8}{3} ← equation of line

Three dump trucks are carrying topsoil to a construction site. Truck A carries 3,545 lb, Truck 8 carries 1,758 lb, and Truck C c
VikaD [51]
The total weight being carried is
   3545 +1758 +3697 = 9000 . . . . . pounds

Each ton is 2000 pounds, so together the trucks are carrying
   (9000 lb) × (1 t)/(2000 lb) = 4.5 t

Altogether, the 3 trucks are carrying 4.5 tons of topsoil.
