Answer: 2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Plane A's descent :
y = -2,500x + 14,000
Plane B's Ascent :
y = 4,000x + 1,000
where y = altitude x = minute
Time to be at the same altitude :
Being at the same altitude means ;
Plane A's descent = Plane B's Ascent
-2,500x + 14,000 = 4,000x + 1,000
-2500x - 4000x = 1000 - 14000
-6500x = - 13000
x = 13000 / 6500
x = 2
x = 2minutes.

The length of pencil A is 5 cm
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the length of pencil A be "x"
Let the length of pencil B be "y"
Let the length of pencil C be "z"
<em><u>The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm</u></em>
Therefore,
length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29
x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1
<em><u>Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B</u></em>
x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C</u></em>
y = 2z
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>
x = 16 - 11
x = 5
Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm
By definition, if two lines share the same gradient, they are said to be parallel. So, we know for this equation, it must have a gradient of 1/2.
Now, since the point (-6, 4) passes through the line, we know it must satisfy the equation. Since we have a gradient/slope and a point, we can use the point-gradient form:

, where

represents the points being passed through.
