Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the following points. (4, 7) and (1, -2)

y= 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates given: (4,7) & (1, -2)

to find m (slope) = rise/run = (y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

= ( -2-7) / (1 - 4)

= -9/-3

= 3

therefore, y=3x + b

to find b:

taken coordinate: (4,7)

y=3x + b

7=3 (4) + b

7= 12 + b

7-12 = b

-5 = b

(*the value of b will be same even if we take the other coordinate)

therefore, y = 3x -5

since the airplane is moving with constant speed then the distance travelled can be calculated by x=u*t

in km/h would be:

x=640*3.5=2.240 km

in m/s would be:

u=640 km/h= 640.000 m/h =640.000/ 3600 m/s =177.8 m/s

t= 3.5 h= 3.5 * 3600 s=12.600 s

then x=u*t= 177.8*12.600= 2.240.280 m
