Answer: y= -1x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be in slope-intercept form which uses the formula

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So we given the slope and an x and y coordinate so we will plot those numbers into the formula and solve for the y intercept to write the equation.

the x coordinate is -7 and the y coordinate is 2

2 = -1(-7) + b

2 = 7 + b

-7 -7

b = -5 the y intercept is -5

Now the equation will be y= -1x - 5

Initial velocity of the plane is Vo = 0.
acceleration a = 1.3 m/s2
total distance = 2.5 km = 2500m

time taken to reach 2.5 km with 1.3m/s^2 acceleration = t
S = Vo t + 0.5 a t^2
2500 = 0 + (0.5*1.3* t^2)
t^2 = 3846.15
t = 62 s

the maximum velocity plan can reach within 62 s is Vt
Vt = Vo + a t
Vt = 0 + (1.3*62)
Vt = 80.6 m/s

Since 80.6 m/s is greater than 75 m/s, plane can use this runway to takeoff with required speed.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course it is MEGA, it is a common sense for everyone to know that buying bigger bulk results in cheaper price. But I will do the math for you:

MEGA size: 5 / 29.4 = 0.17 dollars per pound

Family size: 3.64 / 19.5 = 0.19 dollars per pound

so it is MEGA
