What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Answer: 2mp

Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water

Let "c" represent the speed of the current

Let "t" represent time

Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t

Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t

(b+c)*3=24

(b-c)*4=16

3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8

4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4

Use Elimination method

b+c=8

b-c= 4 Subtracting

=====

2c=4

find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2

if c=2, substitute to get b

b+2=8

 -2=-2

======

b=6

Speed of boat in still water =6mph

rate of current=2mp

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y =
pogonyaev

Answer:

c) y= -3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

y= 1/3x+6

Here slope m1 = 1/3

We know that the slope of perpendicular lines

m1*m2 = -1

slope of perpendicular line m2 = -1/m1

                                                    = -1/ (1/3)

                                              m2 =  -3

Also the line passes through (2, -3)

equation of line is given by y = mx+b

y= -3

x=  2

m2 = -3

Applying above values to the equation of line,

-3 = (-3*2)+b

b=3

Hence equation of perpendicular line is y = -3x + 3
