Two planes just took off from Charlotte NC. The first plane is traveling 1.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling

in the same direction for 2.5 hours, they are 127.5 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane?

Givens

Slower plane

r = r

t = 2.5 hours

d = d

Faster Plane

r_faster = 1.5 * r

t = 2.5 hours

d1 = d + 127.5

The  time is the same for both

t = d/r

d1/r1 = d/r

(d+ 127.5)/1.5r = d/r   Multiply each side by r

(d + 127.5)/1.5 = d       Multiply both sides by 1.5

d + 127.5 = 1.5d          Subtract d from both sides.

127.5 = 1.5d - d    

127.5 = 0.5d              Divide by 0.5

127.5 / 0.5 = d

255 = d

Now you can go back and figure out the rates.

First find d1

d1 = d + 127.5

d1 = 255 + 127.5

d1 = 382.5

<em><u>Rate of the slower plane</u></em>

d = 255

t = 2.5 hours

r = d/t

r = 255/2.5

r = 102 miles per hour.

<em><u>Faster plane</u></em>

d1 = 382.5 miles

t = 2.5 hours

r1 = d/t

r1 = 382.5/2.5 = 153 miles per hour.

I need help algebra ​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

A. the slope value is 1/4

B. 0

C. y = 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

A: the slope can be calculated with the formula

m =  \frac{rise}{run}  = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is your first coordinate point (any point will work)

(x2, y2) is your second coordinate point (any point will work)

Plug in your values, in this case I chose (0,0) and (4,1) as the two coordinates:

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  =  \frac{1 - 0}{4 - 0}  =  \frac{1}{4}

B: the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of where the graph touches the y-axis and in this case the coordinate is (0,0) where the y coordinate is 0.

C:

the equation of the graph is y = mx + b.

m is the slope = 1/4

b is the y-intercept = 0

Therefore the equation is y = 1/4x
