Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the graph or points of each city are not given.

So, I will provide a general explanation.

To calculate the equation of line through two points;

Start by writing out the coordinates of the two points.

For instance:


London = (4,6)


Warsaw = (20,10)

This points will be represented as:


(x_1,y_1) = (4,6)


(x_2,y_2) = (20,10)

Calculate the slope (m)


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


m = (10 - 6)/(20 - 4)


m = (4)/(16)

Simplify


m = (1)/(4)

The equation is then calculated as:


y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:


y = (1)/(4)(x - 4) + 6

Open bracket


y = (1)/(4)x - 1 + 6


y = (1)/(4)x +5

Apply the above steps in the original question
