We don't really have to put this in slope intercept form; it would clearly end up as
y = -4x + something
so we know the slope is -4.
Answer: C) -4
Answer:
a)
AB is on the latitude 30°N.
<u>Find AB:</u>
- AB = 2*3.142*6400*cos 30°*(32+35)/360 = 6482.15 km
BC is along longitude 35°W
<u>Find BC:</u>
- BC = 2*3.142*6400*(30 + 20)/360 = 5585.77 km
<u>Total distance traveled:</u>
- 6482.15 + 5585.77 = 12067.92 km
<u>Convert the distance to nautical miles:</u>
12067.92/1.86 = 6488.13 nautical miles
b)
<u>Find the average speed:</u>
- 6488.13/22 = 294.92 nautical miles / hour
<u>Note</u>. <em>This is unrealistically high speed for a ship, this must be a plane or the time given wrong.</em>
