Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y= -3/5x - 7 (assuming slope-intercept form)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we see the slope. The basic template for a slope-intercept question is
y=mx + b
So, we put in -3/5 as "m" in this case, as it is the slope to get y= -3/5x +b
To find b, we can just try out the point that the equation gave us.
-3/5 * -5 = 3
Then, to get to -4 from 3, we need to subtract 7.
Then, we get our whole slope-intercept equation. y=-3/5x - 7
Let wind speed = x mph
when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x = 2 / t -------(1) where t is the time she took.
when riding with the wind we have
20 + x = 3 / t--------(2) adding equations (1) and (2):-
40 = 2/t + 3/t
40 = 5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr
x = 20 - 2 / 1/8 = 20 - 16 = 4
Wind speed was 4 mph Answer
