Answer:

1100 and 130 (km/h)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if the velocity of the wind is 'w' and the velocity of the plane in still air is 'p', then

2. it is possible to make up two equations:

the fly against the wind: (p-w)*8=7760;

the fly with the wind: (p+w)*3=3690.

3. if to solve the system made up, then:

\left \{ {{3(p+w)=3690} \atop {8(p-w)=7760}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{p+w=1230} \atop {p-w=970}} \right.  \ => \ \left \{ {{p=1100} \atop {w=130}} \right.

4. the required rate of the plane in still air is p=1100 km/h; the rate of the wind is w=130 km/h.

Alla [95]
Using the formula y=mx+b, you can simplify the equation to y=-4.5x+28 which means that the slope (m) equals -4.5 and the y-intercept (b) equals 28.

PLEASE HELP FOR BRAINLIEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!
wel
X = 78 degrees



Explanation:
Using the alternate exterior angle of 33 degrees, the angle to the left of x would also be 33 degrees
Using this we add up 69 and 33 = 102
Then we would do 180-102 since a straight line has a total of 180 degrees
The answer would be 78 degrees

Shannon drew the line of best fit on the scatter plot shown below:
N76 [4]
Using the points (0,14) and (10,0), the gradient of the line is (14-0)/(0-5) which simplifies to -7/5.

From these points, we can also see that when the x value is zero, the y value is 14. Therefore the y-intercept is 14.

We can then put this into the equation of a straight line, y=mx+c:

y = (-7/5)x + 14
