<h2>Speed of plane = 1110 kmph</h2><h2>Speed of wind = 150 kmph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane be p and speed of wind be w.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 5760 kilometers in 6 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p-w) kmph

            Time = 6 hours

            Distance = 5760 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            5760 = (p-w) x 6

               p-w = 960 -----eqn 1  

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300 kilometers in 5 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p+w) kmph

            Time = 5 hours

            Distance = 6300 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            6300 = (p+w) x 5

               p+w = 1260 -----eqn 2    

eqn 1 + eqn 2

                p-w + p +w =  960 + 1260

                  2p = 2220

                    p = 1110 kmph

Substituting in eqn 2

                1110 + w = 1260

                         w = 150 kmph

Speed of plane = 1110 kmph

Speed of wind = 150 kmph

Find the Slope for <br> (3,-4) and (5,4)
REY [17]
The picture below shows the formula for calculating slope

In this example:
y2 = 4
y1 = -4
x2 = 5
x1 = 3
(These are the numbers you substitute into the formula)

Calculations:
4 - (-4) = 8
5 - 3 = 2
8/2 = 4

As you can see, after the values are substituted into the equation & simplified, the slope is equal to 4
