The answer is point eight
To solve the problem we will use this equation where,
d will be distance.
x is the speed of the plane without tailwind.
y is the speed of the wind affecting the plane.
Going to Philadelphia the speed of the plane affected by wind will be x-y=220 miles/hr
Coming back with a tailwind, the speed of the plane will be x+y= 280 miles/hr.
since time = distance / speed, t1 =d/220 and t2 = d/280
and since the total time traveled is 6.5hrs
d/220 + d/ 280 = 6.5hrs
d = 800.8 miles x 2 (back and forth trip) the answer is 1601.6 miles
It would help if you could specify what the area is in total, in order to find the perimeter with a variable.
Answer:
If you consider what the slope looks like for a vertical line, it is an infinite slope. What that means is that you cannot have a y-value in your equation:
x = 3
This x-value would be a vertical line that passes through all y-values for x = 3. So you can replace them in (3, y) with any value, and it will be included in the linear equation x = 3.
