A puppy and kitten are 180 meters apart when they see each other. The puppy can run at a speed of 25 meters per second, while the kitten can run at a speed of 20 meters per second. How soon will the kitten catch the puppy if the kitten starts running after the puppy?
ANSWER NOW PLEASE THANK YOU

It seems it should be the other way... . How soon will the puppy catch up with the kitten.

The way you have it the kitten will never catch the pup. There is already 180m between them so, the distance will only increase because the puppy runs faster than the cat.

If the puppy runs after the cat, will eventually catch up with it and can be calculated. Not the other way around.

If the pup runs after the cat, the distance between them will decrease and the pup will catch the cat.

RT = D kitten

RT = D+180 puppy

20T = D

25T = D + 180

Substitution

25T = 20T +180

5T = 180

T = 36s

the answer is 2/54

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
