Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

The usual glide slope for landing is about 3°. The descent rate here of 0.25 km/min corresponds to 15 km/h. For the slope to be 3°, the forward speed of the airplane would need to be 286 km/h, about 154 knots.

This is not unreasonable for an approach speed for a (very) heavy airplane. Usually, the rate would be a little lower, but we wanted something that would fit on the grid provided.
