Airplane C is traveling at a different cruising speed. The equation y = -X can be
used to determine y, the number of miles traveled by airplane C in x minutes. Which
statement accurately compares the cruising speed of airplane C to airplanes A and B?
Oь
The cruising speed of airplane is less than the cruising speeds of both airplanes A and B.
The cruising speed of airplane C is greater than the cruising speeds of both airplanes A and B.
The cruising speed of airplane Cis less than the cruising speed of airplane A and greater than the cruising speed of airplane B.
The cruising speed of airplane C is greater than the cruising speed of airplane A and less than the cruising speed of airplane B.
