Answer:400 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = speed at which the plane travelled west
Let s = speed at which the plane travelled south
Distance moved in 5 hrs heading west = 5*w = 5w
Distance moved in 4 hrs heading south = 4*s = 4s
Total distance, 3444= 5w + 4s
w = s + 39( 39 miles/hr faster)
5(s+39) + 4s = 3444
5s + 195 + 4s = 3444
9s = 3249
s = 361 miles per hour
w = s + 39 = 361 +39
= 400 miles per hour

the answer to this question is 6/5
Answer:
y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:
y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.
Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:
0=a(16-8)^2+12
0=64a+12
-12=64a
-12/64=a
-3/16=a
Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12
Plug this into the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
-2 = x1, x2 = 2, y1 = -1, y2 = -3
-3 - (-1) / 2 - (-2)
-2 / 4
-1/2
The slope is -1/2.
