Answer:

<h3>78miles/hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a helicopter flies 312 miles against the wind in 2 hours, the speed of the helicopter in air is expressed as shown;

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 312miles/2hours

Speed = 156miles/hr

The speed of the helicopter against the wind is 156miles/hr

If it can fly 468 miles in the same amount of time, the speed during this time at this distance will be;

speed = 468 miles/2hours

Speed = 234miles/hr

The speed of the helicopter in still air = Speed while flying - Speed while against the wind

The speed of the helicopter in still air = 234miles/hr - 156miles/hr

The speed of the helicopter in still air  = 78miles/hour

Hey everyone i was trying to setup this problem but I’m stuck can someone tell me setup for number 15 and 16 explain if you can
STatiana [176]

Answer:

15. x = 10 3/11

16. ∠Q = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>15.</h3>

The two base angles of the isosceles triangle are congruent, so both are 180°-8x. The sum of those, together with the apex angle, will be 180°.

... 2(180 -8x) + (5x -67) = 180

... 360 -16x +5x -67 = 180 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... -11x = -113 . . . . . subtract 293

... x = 113/11 = 10 3/11

_____

<em>Note on the solution</em>

This value of x makes the interior base angles of the triangle be 97 9/11°. The apex angle is then -15 7/11°. The solution is correct—all the angles add up properly—but the geometry cannot exist.

_____ _____

<h3>16.</h3>

The approach is the same. The sum of the two congruent base angles and the apex angle is 180°.

... 2(2x+15) + x = 180

... 5x + 30 = 180

... x = (180 -30)/5 = 30

... (2x +15)° = (2·30 +15)° = 75° = angle Q

In this graph what is the slope of the line?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, simply identify 2 points on the line. I chose: (1,10) and (2,20)

20-10=10

2-1=1

The slope of the line is 10

To check this answer, just multiply X with 10 and you will always get Y!

What is the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,7) and (4,-1)
natka813 [3]

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.

Y = coordinate y.

M = Slope

X = coordinate x.

B = y-intercept.

Slope formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Plug in: (-1 - 7) / (4 - 2) = -4.

We can just insert the pair (2,7) as our x and y to solve b.

7 = -4(2) + b.

Solve for b.

7 = -8 + b.

-b = -8 -7

-b = -15

b = 15.

Original equation:

y = mx + b

y = -4x + 15
