Will mark as brainliest if correct! at noon, doug drove west from a gas station to a motel. he reached the motel at 3 p. m. also leaving at noon, ashley drove east from the same gas station to her sister’s house. she arrived at 2: 30 p. m. the driving distance from the motel to ashley’s sister’s house is 341 mi. ashley and doug both drove at the same speed, r. use the formula d=rt to solve. at what speed did doug and ashley both drive?

Denote points:

These three points lie on the same line in order M, G and S. The distance MS=341 mi and MS=GM+GS.

It takes Doug 3 hours to go to a motel from gas station (GM) and it takes 2.5 hours Ashley to go to a sister's home from gas station (GS). The total time is 3+2.5=5.5 hours.

Then using the formula d=rt, you can conclude that

341=5.5·r,

r=341:5.5,

r=62 mi/h.

62 mi/h.

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
