To travel 105 miles, it takes Sue, riding a moped, 3 hours less time than it takes Doreen to travel 64 miles riding a bicycle. S

Volgvan

Let t=time Doreen travels; let r=rate of Doreen

RATE * TIME = DIST.
Sue | r+13 t-3 105
Doreen | r t 64

Now solve the system:
(r+13)(t-3)=105
r*t=64

 $r= \frac{64}{t} 
\\
\\(\frac{64}{t} +13)(t-3)=105 
\\
\\64- \frac{192} {t}+13t-39-105=0
\\
\\13t- \frac{192} {t}-80=0
\\
\\ 13t^2-80t-192=0
\\
\\t_{1,2}= \frac{80\pm \sqrt{(-80)^2-4\times13(-192)} }{2\times13}= \frac{80\pm128}{26} 
\\
\\t=\frac{80+128}{26} =8
\\
\\r=\frac{64}{t} =\frac{64}{8} =8$ 

Doreen: rate = 8 mph, time = 8 hours
Sue: rate = 21 mph, time = 5 hours

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line having the given slope and y-intercept.

pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is y = 4/6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

m = 4/6

P (0, -4)

slope-intercept form = ? y = mx + b where m is the slope and

b is the y-intercept

Formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

y - (-4) = 4/6(x - 0)

Simplification

y + 4 = 4/6x

Result

y = 4/6x - 4

slope = 4/6 y-intercept = -4
