Answer:

350 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.

This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.

Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.

How do you solve 2/3x+15=17? it is confusing. i have been stuck on this problem for a while...
kirill [66]
Find the opposite of adding 15. So it would be subtracting 15. So subtract 15 on both sides. So it would have 2/3x on the left and then 2 on the other side. (2/3x=2) Now find the opposite of multiplying 2/3. It is dividing 23/3. So divide 23/3 on both sides. So multiply 2/3 times 1/2. It would equal 3. x = 3
Hope this helps. :-)

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (3,7) and (-6, 4). Write the equation in slope-intercept form, using
NikAS [45]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3} x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,7)(-6,4)

Step 1. Find the slope (by using the slope-formula)

m = slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{4-7}{-6-3}

m=\frac{-3}{-9}

m=\frac{3}{9}

m=\frac{1}{3}

Step 2. Write the equation (using the slope and the points)

Here's how to do it:

Slope-intercept Formula y=mx+b whrere m = slope and b = y-intercept

Plug in the slope into the Slope-intercept Formula

y=\frac{1}{3} x+b

Find the y-intercept (b) by using a point and substituting their x and y values

y=\frac{1}{3} x+b

Point: (3, 7)

7=\frac{1}{3} (3)+b

7=1+b

b=7-1

b=6

Step 3. Write the equation in Slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

y=\frac{1}{3} x+6

According to the 2000 Census the population of Canton was 7,720. Holly Spring's population was 3,200. Canton's population increa
qwelly [4]
Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.

Let x be the number of years.

Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113

It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
