Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line can be found using the slope intercept form

y = mx +b

y= -3/2 x + 3

x intercept is found by setting y=0 bc that will give you the x-value at which the line crosses the x -axis so

0 = -3/2x+3 (subtract the 3 on both sides) would cancel out the + 3 and would

-3 = -3/2 x (divide by -3/2 on both sides to cancel out the -3/2)

x = 2

If an airplane was going 900 km/h and it traveled 675,000 m how long did it take to get to it's destination?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The answer: Time= Distance divide Speed.
Speed= 675,000 divide 900= 750 minutes. Convert that to hours and that leaves you with 12 hours and a half. If these questions are bothering you, just revise them- they’re speed distance time equations and i’d be blessed if they come up in my maths exam tomorrow.
