A plane flies 720 miles with the wind in 3 hours. The return trip against the wind takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the wind

and the speed of the plane in still air?

Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

Can someone answer this for me
ladessa [460]

The linear equation in standard form is:

6x - 7y = -11

Which is the last option.

<h3>How to get the equation of the line?</h3>

The line in slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

We can see that the line passes through the points (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2), then the slope is:

a = \frac{2 - (-1)}{1/2 - (-3)}  = \frac{3}{3.5}  = \frac{6}{7}

Then we can write:

y = (6/7)*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the first point. It means that when x = -3, the value of y is -1, then we get:

-1 = (6/7)*-3 + b

-1 + 18/7 = b

-7/7 + 18/7 = b

11/7 = b

Then the equation is:

y = (6/7)*x + 11/7

If we multiply both sides by 7 we get:

7y = 6x + 11

Now we move the term with "x" to the left:

7y - 6x = 11

That is the line in standard form.

If we multiply both sides by -1, we get the last option:

6x - 7y = -11
