Let the rate of the plane in still air be v;

Let the rate of the plane with the wind be u;

Thus, when the airplane flies against the wind, we have;

\begin{gathered} d=3920\operatorname{km},t=8\text{hours} \\ v-u=\frac{3920}{8} \\ v-u=490\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{equation 1} \end{gathered}

Also, when the same airplane flies with the wind, we have;

\begin{gathered} d=5580\operatorname{km},t=6hours \\ v+u=\frac{5580}{6} \\ v+u=930\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{equation 2} \end{gathered}

Thus, we solve equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously by subtracting equation 1 from equation 2. We have;

\begin{gathered} v-v+u-(-u)=930-490 \\ 2u=440 \\ u=220 \end{gathered}

Thus, we substitute the value of u in equation 2, we have;

\begin{gathered} v+u=930 \\ v+220=930 \\ v=930-220 \\ v=710 \end{gathered}

Hence, the rate of the airplane in still air is 710km/hour and the rate of the airplane with the wind is 220km/hour.

Answer:

m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute

7 + 35m + 2m = 7 +2m

add 35m + 2m

7 + 37m = 7 + 2m

subtract 2 from 37m

7 + 35m = 7

subtract 7 from 7

35m = 0

0 ÷ 35 = 0

so technically the answer is 0

I'm not 100% sure but I do believe this is right

Find the coordinates of the point where the line <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D5x%2B7%5C%5C" id="TexFormula1" title="y=5
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(0, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point that crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept of the line.

We are given an equation of the line and we need to determine the y-intercept. This can be done by determining the constant in the equation.

What are constants?

Constants are such terms that include only numbers. There should be no variables in constants.

<u>We know that:</u>

     \bullet \ \text{Given equation of line: y = 5x + 7}

The constant we can see in the equation is "7". Therefore, the y-intercept is 7.

Note: The y-intercept of the line must have an x-coordinate of 0.

<u>Therefore,</u>

⇒ Coordinates of y-intercept: (x, y) ==> (0, 7).
