+191 Hello everyone, I hope someone could help me since I ma struggling with that since almost 2 days
An approximate linear model that gives the remaining distance, in miles, a plane must travel from Los Angeles to Boston is given by s(t) = 9000 - 600t where s(t) is the remaining distance t hours after the flight begins.
Find the veritcal and horizontal intercepts of s(t)
So I am lost !! Please corrrect me :/ I tried it at least
9000 are the miles
600 are the hours
Should I do a table like,
t = 0 and 10
and s(t) = 9000 and 12000 ( double of 600)
Then Should i do Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1 so 12000 - 9000 / 10 - 0 ?
I feel like everything's wrong !
+6251 You don't have to do any of that. They've given you the equation
s(t) = 9000 - 600t
So as in the other problem we have t as the horizontal axis, and in this case s(t) is the vertical axis.
For the vertical intercept set t=0, and evaluate s(0)
For the horizontal intercept set s(t)=0 and solve for t.
