Two cars leave towns 950 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one car’s rate is 14 kilometers per hour less than the other’s. if they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of the slower car? do not do any rounding.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
