An airplane has begun its descent for a landing. when the airplane is 150 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 32,000 feet. when the airplane is 100 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 14,000 feet. if the airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function, where will the airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level? a) airplane will over shoot the runway by 61 feet b) airplane will over shoot the runway by 610 feet c) airplane will land short of the runway by 61 feet d) airplane will land short of the runway by 6.1 feet

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, when the airplane is 150 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 32,000 feet. When the airplane is 100 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 14,000 feet.

The airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function.

If linear function passing through two points, then the equation of line is

x-coordinate represents the distance in miles west of its destination and y-coordinate represents the altitude at that point.

The plane passing through (-150,32000) and (-100,14000).

The equation of line is

The value of y is 0, when airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level.

Divide both sides by -360.

The value of x is negative, therefore the correct option is A.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
