Answer: Distance between dolphin and helicopter = 93.5 feet
Explanation:
Distance at which dolphin swimming below the ocean= (-) 18 feet
(it is represented as the negative number as it denotes the distance below the ocean)
Distance at which helicopter is above the ocean = (+) 75.5 feet
(it is represented as the positive number as it denotes the distance above the ocean)
Distance between dolphin and helicopter = 75.5 - (-18) feet
= 75.5 + 18 feet
= 93.5 feet

Answer:
(0, 8/3) = y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
I chose to find the y-intercept since it is easy to find with the given information.
The equation for a line is y = mx + b
To find the y-intercept, we must plug in the info we have and solve for b:
4 = -1/3 (-4) + b
4 = -4/3 + b
8/3 = b
To find a point on the line, you also could have added -1 to 4 and 3 to -4 since slope means rise/run or change in y/change in x:
(y - 1) / (x + 3) = (4 - 1) / (-4 + 3) = (3, -1) (flip since it's the y and x coordinate) = (-1, 3)
