Answer:

Airplane #1 equation: y=5/13x+42/13

Airplane #2 equation: y=1/3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the slope of each airplane, you use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. That means, for airplane#1 the equation will be 9-4/15-2. Simplify this and get 5/13. Then, for airplane#2, the equation will be 12-9/6-15. Simplify this and get 3/-9 and divide each side by 3 to get 1/-3 or -1/3. Next, use point slope formula to find the system of linear equations. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). M is the slope. Use any point from the line. In this case, I will use (2,4). Tat means the first airplane's equation would be y-4=5/13(x-2). Then y-4=5/13x-10/13. Then, convert four into a fraction with a denominator of 13. This means, you have to multiply 4 by 13 to get 52/13. Add 52/13 to -10/13 to get 42/13. That means the first equation will be y=5/13x+42/13. The second equation point will be (6,12). This means the equation will be y-12=-1/3(x-6). Simplify this to get y-12=-1/3x+2. Simplify this to get y=1/3x+14. Therefore, Airplane#1 equation will be y=5/13x+42/13 and airplane #2 equation will be  y=1/3x+14.

Hope this helps

WILL GIVE A BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE HELP!!
OLga [1]
The domain of the function is the set of all x's that are suitable for the given equation. In the problem, we are asked to determine the equation with the most restricted domain. Option A can have x from negative infinity to positive infinity as well as option B and option D. OPtion C can only have x equal to zero and all positive numbers. Hence the answer is C. hope that helped

Identify the graphed linear equation.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of the constant at the end of the equation, look for where the line meets the y-axis (here it is +1). Since all of the answer choices have 4 as a slope, looking to see if the line is going down or up will tell you if it's -4 or +4. (here it is negative)
