Assume that a cheetah travels an average of 40 mph to go from its resting place to a rock near a river. in the return trip to its resting place, the cheetah travels an average of 70 mph. if the cheetah traveled for 15 minutes, how many minutes did the return trip take to the nearest minute and second?

you're missing vital information, add to it so we can solve this problem for you.

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
