y = 2 · 3 x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis: Number of female representatives in 1985 = 22

This can be represented by the point (0,22).

Number of representatives in 2005 = 68.

This can be represented by the point (2205-1985,68)

= (20,68)

Slope of the line : 2 · 3

∴ Equation of the line :  y = mx + c

⇒ 22 = 2 · 3 (0) + c

⇒ C = 22

∴  y = 2 · 3 x + 22

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
