We know it's a linear function, which is like
[tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex]We can find the slope "m" of the linear function doing
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]There the points x₂, x₁, y₂ and y₁ we can take what's more convenient for us, just be careful, if you do x₁ = 0, you must take the correspondent y₁, the value of y on the same column, therefore y₁ = 3, for example.
I'll do x₁ = 0 which implies y₁ = 3 and x₂ = 1 which implies y₂ = 7. Therefore
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7_{}-3}{1_{}-0_{}} \\ \\ m=\frac{7_{}-3}{1_{}}=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the slope is m = 4, then
[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]To find out the "b" value we can use the fact that when x = 0 we have y = 3, therefore
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x+b \\ \\ 3=4\cdot0+b \\ \\ 3=b \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Then b = 3, our equation is

A cattle train left the station and traveled toward New York at an average speed of 41.4 mph. A passenger train left 5.6 hours later and traveled in the opposite direction with an average speed of 22.5 mph. How long does the passenger train need to travel before the trains are 513 mi. apart?
You have the following information:
- Average speed of cattle train to New York: 41.4 mph
- Average speed of passenger train: 22.5 mph
- The passenger train left in the opposite direction, 5.6 hour after cattle train started its travel.
In order to determine how long does the passenger need to travel before the trains are 513 mi apart, you take into account that you can express the previous situation in an algebraic way. If you consider x as the distance traveled by cattle train in a time t, the you have:
x = vt = (41.4)t = 41.4 t
Now, if you consider x' as the distance traveled by the passenger train in the opposite direction in a 5.3h after the left of cattle train, you have:
x' = v't = (22.5)(t + 5.3) = 22.5 t + 119.25
Next, if you are interested in the time on which passengers and cattle train will be separated by 513 mi, then you can write:
x - (-x') = 513 Here, you specify the distance between both trains are 513
x + x' = 513
The minussign of -x' is due to the fact the passengers trains goes in the opposite direction.
Then, by replaacing the expressions for x and x' you obtain:
(41.4t) + (22.5t + 119.25) = 513
Now, you can simplify the previous expression, and solve it for t:
41.4t + 22.5t + 119.25 = 513
63.9t = 513 - 119.25
63.9t = 393.75
t = 393.75/63.9
t = 6.16
Hence, both trains will be at a distance of 513 mi apart between them, after 6.16 hours

A helicopter pilot sights a landmark an an angle of depression of 34°. The altitudeof the helicopter is 1,748 feet. To the nearest foot, what is the horizontal distancefrom the helicopter to the landmark?
For the question, we will be making a sketch showing the features in the question.
From the sketch and the question, the angle of depression = 34 degrees
The helicopter height above the ground (altitude) = 1,748 ft
L represents the landmark
x = horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landmark
To solve the question, we need to bring out the right triangle from the sketch
Angle e = 34 degrees (alternate to the angle of depression given)
To get x, we make use of the trigonometrical ratio of tan
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \text{ }\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\ \text{From the right triangle, the opposite = 1748} \\ \text{The adjacent = x} \\ \theta=34^0 \\ \tan \text{ 34 =}\frac{\text{1748}}{x} \\ \text{Making x the subject of the formula, we have} \\ x=\frac{1748}{\tan 34} \\ x=\frac{1748}{0.6745} \\ x=2591.55 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landmark to the nearest foot is 2592 feet.

A plane flies from Oahu and back. Flying to Oahu the plane is flying against the wind and the trip takes 6 hours. On the way back the plane flies with the wind and it takes 5 hours. If the distance one way is 900 miles, what is the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind?
Answer:
Plane: 165 miles per hour
Wind: 15 miles per hour
Explanation:
Let's call x the speed of the plane in still air and y the speed of the wind.
Additionally, the velocity is equal to distances over time. So, when the plane is flying against the wind, we can write the following equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-y=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \\ x-y=\frac{900\text{ miles}}{6\text{ hours}} \\ x-y=150 \end{gathered}[/tex]Because x - y is the total velocity of the plane when it is flying against the wind.
On the other hand, when the plane flies with the wind, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=\frac{900\text{ miles}}{5\text{ hours}} \\ x+y=180 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, we have the following system of equations:
x - y = 150
x + y = 180
Adding both equations, we get:
x - y = 150
x + y = 180
2x + 0 = 330
Solving for x:
2x = 330
2x/2 = 330/2
x = 165
Finally, Replace x by 165 on the second equation and solve for y as:
x + y = 180
165 + y = 180
165 + y - 165 = 180 - 165
y = 15
Therefore, the speed of the plane in still air is 165 miles per hour and the speed of the air is 15 miles per hour.

which of these is a formula that can be used to determine the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 15,27,39,51,....?
For an arithmetric progression, we need to find the common difference in the sequence
common difference = d = 2nd term - 1st term = 3rd term - 2nd term = 4th term - 3rd term
2nd term - 1st term = 27 -15 = 12
3rd term - 2nd term = 39-27 = 12
The result are the same.
Hence, d = 12
The first trm = 15
The formula for arithmetric sequence:
The nth term = 1st term + d(n - 1)
Replacing with the values we got above:
The nth term = 15 + 12(n - 1)
Since none of the options have the above, we would expand the parenthesis.
The nth term = 15 + 12×n - 12×1
The nth term = 15 + 12n - 12
= 15 -12 + 12n
The nth term = 3 + 12n = 12n + 3
From the options:
The nth term = 12n + 3 (option B)

The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are 78 and x+10.
To find:
The value of x.
Explanation:
We know that,
The sum of the adjacent angles in a parallelogram is supplementary.
So, we can write,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 78+x+10=180 \\ x+88=180 \\ x=180-88 \\ x=92 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the value of x is 92.
Final answer:
The value of x is 92.
Lines PQ and Rs are parallel. Find y. P(2, -5); Q(5, 6); R(3, -1); S(6, y)y = ?
To answer this question it is necessary to find the equation of the given lines
Find the equation for PQ. To do it, find the slope of the equation:
[tex]m=\frac{6-(-5)}{5-2}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]Now, use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-6=\frac{11}{3}(x-5) \\ y=\frac{11}{3}x-\frac{55}{3}+6 \\ y=\frac{11}{3}x-\frac{37}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Parallel lines have the same slope, it means PQ and RS have the same slope, then RS has a slope of 11/3
Use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line RS:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-1)=\frac{11}{3}(x-3) \\ y+1=\frac{11}{3}x-11 \\ y=\frac{11}{3}x-12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, use this equation to find y when x is 6 (which corresponds to point S):
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{11}{3}x-12 \\ y=\frac{11}{3}(6)-12 \\ y=22-12 \\ y=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]y has a value of 10.
