25 POINTS!!! The equation y=470x represents the relationship between x, the time that a plane flies in hours, and y, the distance the plane flies in miles for plane A. The table represents the relationship for plane B. Find the slope of the graph for each plane and the plane's rate of speed. Determine which plane is flying at a faster rate of speed. Look at the photo.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For plane A,

Equation that represents the relationship between time 'x' and distance 'y' is,

y = 470x

By comparing this equation with the slope-intercept form of the equation,

y = mx + b

m = slope = 470

b = 0

Here, slope represents the speed of plane A.

Therefore, speed of plane A = 470 mi per hour

For plane B,

From the given table,

Slope of the graph = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

                                = [tex]\frac{960-480}{2-1}[/tex]

                                = 480

Speed of plane B = 480 miles per hour

Since, speed of plane B is more than plane A,

Plane B is flying faster.
