Question

Write the equation of a line that safely lands the plane. Press submit to see if the plane lands safely.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using the points (3, 2) and (-1, -1):

Slope = $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 2}{-1 - 3} = \frac{-3}{-4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Find the y-intercept, b, by substituting x = -1, y = -1 and m = ¾ in y = mx + b.

-1 = ¾(-1) + b

-1 = -¾ + b

Add ¾ to both sides

-1 + ¾ = b

(-4 + 3)/4 = b

-¼ = b

Substitute m = ¾ and b = -¼ in y = mx + b.

The equation would be:

✅$y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}$
