How do you write in slope intercept with only the rate of change and one point. Like rate of change is -5 and the point is (3,0)

Answer:

A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Now, we know that the rate of change (the slope) is -5

Then we just replace a by -5

y = -5*x + b

Now we also know that this line passes through a point, and the point is (3, 0)

This means that the point (3, 0) is a solution for the line equation, so when x = 3, we also have y = 0.

Replacing these values in our equation we get:

0 = -5*3 + b

0 = -15 + b

15 = b

Now we know the value of b, so we can replace it in the line equation to get:

y = -5*a + 15

Which is the complete equation of the line.

A riverboat travels 54 km downstream in 2 hours. It travels 57 km upstream in 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat and the speed
irakobra [83]

Here we must write and solve a system of equations to find the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream. We will find that the boat's speed is 23km/h and the river's speed is 4km/h.

First, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

Now let's define the variables we will be using:

  • B = boat's speed
  • R = river's speed.

When the boat travels downstream, the total speed of the boat is the speed of the boat plus the speed of the river, and we know that in that case it travels 54km in 2 hours, then:

54km = (B + R)*2h

When the boat travels upstream, we must subtract the speed of the river. In that case, we know that the boat travels 57km in 3 hours, then we have:

57km = (B - R)*3h

Then our system of equations is:

54km = (B + R)*2h

57km = (B - R)*3h

To solve this, first, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate B in the second one:

57km = (B - R)*3h

57km/3h + R = B

19 km/h + R = B

Now we can replace that in the other equation:

54km = (B + R)*2h

54km/2h = B + R

27 km/h = B + R = (19 km/h + R) + R

Now we can solve this for R:

27 km/h = 19km/h + 2*R

27 km/h - 19km/h = 2*R

8 km/h = 2*R

(8km/h)/2 = 4km/h = R

Now that we know the value of R, we can use:

B = 19 km/h + R  = 19 km/h + 4km/h = 23 km/h

So the boat's speed is 23km/h and the river's speed is 4km/h.
