The graph below shows the distances in miles traveled by a helicopter in a certain number of hours. based on the graph, which of the following equations indicates the correct variables, and in how many hours does the helicopter travel 3000 miles if it travels at the same speed? variables, and in how many hours does the helicopter travel 3000 miles if it travels at the same speed? x = 100y, the helicopter travels 3,000 miles in 32 hours y = 100x, the helicopter travels 3,000 miles in 30 hours y = 100x, the helicopter travels 3,000 miles in 32 hours x = 100y, the helicopter travels 3,000 miles in 30 hours

The correct answer is the second one: y = 100x, the helicopter travels 3,000 miles in 30 hours.

To see why this is right, choose some points from the graph, possibly with easy coordinates (i.e. integers).

For example, you can see that the points (2,200) and (4,400) belong to the graph. These points confirm that, for every point in the graph, the y coordinate is 100 times the x coordinates, hence the equation y = 100x. So, the first and last options are wrong.

To see how many hours it will take to the helicopter to travel 3000 miles, since the distance is represented by the y coordinate, we have to plug y=3000 in the formula and solve for x:

and so the correct answer is the second one.

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
