1) Graph a straight segment that starts at the point (0, 1000) and (200/13 , 0)
That segment is in the first quadrant and is like a ramp going downward from left to right.
2) a) slope = - 65 is the change in y (the # of miles remaiing) per miles run (change in x). It is negative because when the Vieras have increase the distance run (x), the distance remaining (y) decreases.
b) the y - intercept (1000) representes the distance from the starting point (Philadelphia) fo the destiny (Orlando), i.e. the distance in miles remaining before departing (when x =0).
Speed is distance traveled per block of time. As an equation, this is
Speed = distance/time
In your problem, the given distance is 300km, and the time is 2.5 hours.
Plugging into the equation,
Speed = 300km / 2.5 h
Speed = 120 km/h
Velocity is speed <em>and</em> direction.
The velocity would be 120 km/h north.
Y=3negativeX+18. y=3(-x)+18. I hope I helped.
