A boat’s velocity, measured in meters per second, is described by vector b = 〈3,4〉. In two or more complete sentences explain how to find the speed of the boat and the direction it is traveling in standard position. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

y+3=-4(x-2)

y+3=-4x+8

  -3         -3  

y=-4x+5

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
