Answer:

The first plane is moving at 295 mph and the second plane is moving at 355mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the speed of each plane we first need to know the relative speed between them, since they are flying in oposite directions their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. In this case the speed of the first plane will be "x" and the second plane will be "y". So we have:

x = y - 60

relative speed = x + y = (y - 60) + y = 2*y - 60

We can now apply the formula for average speed in order to solve for "y", we have:

average speed = distance/time

average speed = 1625/2.5 = 650 mph

In this case the average speed is equal to their relative speed, so we have:

2*y - 60 = 650

2*y = 650 + 60

2*y = 710

y = 710/2 = 355 mph

We can now solve for "x", we have:

x = 355 - 60 = 295 mph

The first plane is moving at 295 mph and the second plane is moving at 355mph.

Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-3/4(x-8).
Elis [28]
In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.
Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6
We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"
y = -3/4(0) -6
y=0-6
y=6
So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)
That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

In the accompanying diagram, parallelogram ABCD has
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:

A = b\cdot h (1)

Where:

A - Area.

b - Base.

h - Height.

The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:

Base

b = 8-2

b = 6

Height

h = 5-1

h = 4

Then, the area of the parallelogram is:

A = (6)\cdot (4)

A = 24

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
