An airplane is flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet. To avoid turbulence the pilot descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for

3 minutes. He continues flying at this altitude until he decides the turbulence is over; then he ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes. At what altitude is the plane now flying?​

Answer:

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, he is at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for 3 minutes.

So his altitude is now:

40,000 - 3*2,000 = 34,000

Ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes.

The plane is now flying at an altitude of:

34,000 + 1,500*5.5 = 42,250

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{3}{2} , then

y = \frac{3}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, - 7 ) into the partial equation

- 7 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 6 = - 1

y = \frac{3}{2} x - 1 ← equation of line
