Chapter 3.4, Problem 12G

To determine

To calculate: The value of the distance for the corresponding number of hours and complete the provided table using spreadsheet by firstly determining the rate by which plane flies (in miles per hour) followed by calculating the equation which represents the distance covered by the plane $\left(y\right)$ after the certain number of hours $\left(x\right)$ when the plane covers a distance of $1,275$ miles in three hours and it flies at a constant speed after reaching the cruising altitude for higher efficiency. The provided table is as follows:

Hours, x	Distance, Y1
$0$
$1.5$
$3$
$4.5$
$6$
$7.5$
$9$
