Quadratic_Equations/155538: Are these parallel x+11=y and y-x=-7 What is the slope of the line x+11=y
1 solutions

Answer 114577 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2008-09-07 19:08:03 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The line equation is: Y=mX+b where m=slope
x+11=y
y=x+11 has a slope=1.
y-x=-7
y=x-7 has a slope=1
Therefore these 2 lines are parallel.

3700/5=s-j
9280/8=s+j
-----------------
3700/5+9280/8=2s
(8*3700+5*9280)/40=2s
40*2s=29,600+46,400
80s=76,000
s=76,000/80
s=950 km/h is the speed of the jet.
3700/5=950-j
740-950=-j
j=210 speed of the jet stream.
