The speed would be 158.4fps and the parachutist would fall 2,376 feet during 15 seconds.
Answer:
The answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the width of a rectangular prism which has a height of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet should be 140 square feet
Step 1: Find the slope:

This gives you
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
The distance between town X and Town Y is equal to the difference between the distance between Town X and Town Z and the distance from Town Y and Town Z. Mathematically
d (X-Y) = d (X-Z) - d(Y-Z)
Substituting,
d(X-Y) = 57 miles - 28 miles = 29 miles
Thus, the distance from Town X to Town Y is 29 miles.
