Answer:
9.5°, yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant trig relation is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The distance opposite the angle of elevation is the plane's height, 500 m. The distance adjacent to the angle of elevation is the horizontal distance to the plane, 3 km = 3000 m. Then the angle is found from ...
tan(α) = 500/3000 = 1/6
α = arctan(1/6) ≈ 9.46°
The plane is approaching at an angle of 9.46°. It is safe to land, since that angle is less than 15°.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The usual descent angle for most commercial air traffic is 3°. Some airport geography demands it be different (steeper). A higher descent angle can put undue stress on the landing gear.

Answer:
B) A line with a positive slope increases as it is viewed from left to right.
Step-by-step explanation:
A line with a positive slope increases as it is viewed from left to right.
A positive slope means that as a line on the line graph moves from left to right, the line rises.
Hope this helps :)
