Answer:

1.0014 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The light travels at 186,291 miles per second (~300,000 km/s), and speed of sound in dry air is equal to 0.21 - 0.22 miles per second (0.33-0.35 km/s), as it varies with the temperature. We can notice the lightning almost immediately even though the storm is far from us, but the thunder needs around 5 seconds to travel one mile and approximately 3 seconds to travel one kilometer. Thanks to this seven orders of magnitude difference in sound and light propagation, we can easily estimate the storm distance

Answer:

4y + 48 - 16x = 0        ~Solve for y~

4y = -48 + 16x

y = -12 + 4x

The slope is 4.

We'll use the point (1, 4) and m = 4.

Plug these into the equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 4(x - 1)

y - 4 = 4x - 4

y = 4x
