SOLUTION: a plane takes off from an airport that is at sea level and climbs to a height of 44,500 ft. in 5 mins. if y=mx+b is a linear equation that gives the height y (in feet) of the plane

Question 925142: a plane takes off from an airport that is at sea level and climbs to a height of 44,500 ft. in 5 mins. if y=mx+b is a linear equation that gives the height y (in feet) of the plane above sea level in terms of the time x (in minutes) after take off, then two ordered pairs that are solutions of the equation are (0,?) and (5,?)
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
climb rate = altitude / time
climb rate = 44500/5
climb rate = 8900 ft/min
---
y = 8900x
---
solutions:
(0, 0)
(5, 44500)
