During an airplanes ascent, the plane reaches a horizontal distance from the airport of 1 km and then 7 km. The plane ascends at a slope of 2/3. Find the vertical distance (y) in feet that the plane traveled during the indicated spots

The vertical distance in feet that the plane traveled was 4 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know a line passes across points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

The airplane ascent will be modeled with the equation of a line because we are given a constant slope of m=2/3. We also know the horizontal distances are x1=1 Km and x2=7 Km. Substituting in the formula above:

Operating:

Solving for y2-y1, we get the vertical distance traveled by the plane:

Thus, the vertical distance in feet that the plane traveled was 4 Km

the answer is b i just did that
