Question

Change one number in the equation below to safely land the plane.

Answer 1

We have to change the slope in order to have a safe land the plane

The plane is located in (0,-7)

The point on the safe land (14,0)

We can calculate the slope

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Then we substitute

`m=(0+7)/(14-0)=(7)/(14)=(1)/(2)`

The equation to land safely

`y=(1)/(2)x-7`

ANSWER

y=1/2x-7
