anonymous · Answer

divide  306 by 8.5 to give miles per hour, then multiply by 9.1 hours

im 95% sure thats the correct answer^^^

could you help with a few more?

umerlodhi · Answer

sure i'll try

mic123 · Answer

what is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (3,2) and (5,12)

umerlodhi · Answer

1 sec

mic123 · Answer

ok

umerlodhi · Answer

Use the slope formula, the slope of the line through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
It doesn't make a difference which point you call (x1, y1) and which you call (x2, y2).
In your case, 
slope = (12 - 2)/(5 - 3)
Simplify the fraction

327.6 looks good to me too http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=9.1*306%2F8.5

mic123 · Answer

isn't it like (x-y) over x1-y1)?

anonymous · Answer

no it isn't 
from 3 to 5 is two right
from 2 to 12 is ten up 
right 2, up 10, slope is $\frac{10}{2}$

mic123 · Answer

oh ok

mic123 · Answer

so it'll be 5?
