Two cars leave towns 1000 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 20 kilometers per hour less than the other's. If they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of the slower car?

90 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the speed of the slower car, and x+20 is the speed of the faster car, then:

5x + 5(x+20) = 1000

x + x + 20 = 200

2x + 20 = 200

x + 10 = 100

x = 90

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
