Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3
Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2
Explanation:
Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).
Answer:
-88 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relation ...
time = distance/speed
to compare the times in the two directions.
The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.
_____
The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.
128 : 3 :: w : 8 proportion
3w = (8)(128) product means/extremes
w = 341 ⅓ cars
Do the exponents first. 10 to the -4 is 1/10000 or 0.0001 and 10^ -5 is 0.00001. You end up with (1.7*0.0001)(5*0.00001) which is 0.00017*0.00005 which is 0.0000000085 or 0.085*10^-8
