Physics. The distance d between a fixed spring and the floor is a linear function of the weight w attached to the bottom of the spring. The bottom of the spring is 18 inches from the floor when the weight is 3 pounds, and 10 inches from the floor when the weight is 5 pounds. (A) Find a linear equation that expresses d in terms of w . (B) Find the distance from the bottom of the spring to the floor if no weight is attached. (C) Find the smallest weight that will make the bottom of the spring touch the floor. (Ignore the height of the weight.)

2. A Delta airplane and an SouthWest airplane take off from an airport
at the same time. The bearing from the airport to the Delta plane is
23° and the bearing to the SouthWest plane is 152°. Two hours later
the Delta plane is 1,103 miles from the airport and the SouthWest
plane is 1,156 miles from the airport. What is the distance between the
two planes? What is the bearing from the Delta plane to the SouthWest
plane? What is the bearing to the Delta plane from the SouthWest
plane?
