Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

9) State the coordinates of the endpoints of a<br> line segment that intersects the y-axis.
eduard

Answer:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment has 2 end points which can be denoted as:

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

When this line segment intersects at y.

This means that the coordinate on the y axis is the same at both end points

i.e.

y_1 = y_2 = y

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) becomes (x_1,y) and (x_2,y)

x1 and x2 can be any value but the y value must remain unchanged

Using the above analysis, a possible coordinate is:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Note that there are as many answers as possible as long as the coordinate pair satisfy is of the form (x_1,y)<em> and </em>(x_2,y)<em />

Take for instance, another possible pair is:

(1,-3) and (0,-3)

Write the sentence as an equation.
bearhunter [10]

The solution to a given word problem by writing it as an equation is k = 253/232

<h3>Expressing word problems in mathematical forms:</h3>

The process of expressing word problems in mathematical forms takes a logical and chronological approach while taking the variables and arithmetic operations given into consideration.

From the given information, to express the word problem in mathematical form, we have:

  • 253 = 232 × k
  • 253 = 232k

Making k the subject of the equation, we have:

k = 253/232

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form
Damm [24]

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is y-(-2)=-3(x-2). Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to (x-2),

y-(-2)=-3x+6

Then, add -2 to both sides,

y=-3x+4

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
