Answer:

  160 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

__

If p represents the plane's speed, then the speed with the wind is p+20 and the time to go 405 miles is ...

  405/(p+20)

The speed against the wind is p-20, and the time to go 315 miles is ...

  315/(p-20)

These two times are equal, so we have ...

  405/(p+20) = 315/(p-20)

  405(p-20) = 315(p+20) . . . . . . cross multiply

  90p = 6300 +8100 = 14400 . . . . add 8100 -315p

  p = 14400/90 = 160

The speed of the plane in still air is 160 mph.

The rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The standard linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.

From the table, using the point (0, -7) and (2, -1):

m = [-1 - (-7)] / (2 - 0) = 3

The rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3
