Positive Slope
<em>TIP for finding what slope it is:</em>
<em>Positive </em>- the line is pointing right
<em>Negative</em> - the line is pointing left
<em>Undefined </em>- the line is pointing up and down
<em>Zero</em> - the line is point from left to right
Perpendicular slope: 3
y + 7 = 3(x + 3)
y + 7 = 3x + 9
y = 3x + 2
Answer:
The distance between the hose and the point (P) is 0.9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have
Speed of rowing the boat = 3 mph
Speed of waling = 4.5 mph
Since the speed of walking is more than that of to row the boat, the location of where he should dock his boat in order to minimize the total time he would need to reach the house is the shortest distance across the river to the house
Therefore the location of the point (P) should be directly opposite the house across the water and the distance id 0.9 miles.
The question is missing the image given to go along with it, corresponding to the map being created. The image is attached to this answer.
The side angle side (SAS) similarity theorem states that two triangles with congruent angles and sides with identical ratios then the two triangles are similar. We have various points on the map, Home (H), Park (P), Friends house (F) and Grocery store (G).
In this example, we know the angle at the point Home on the map, is shared between the two triangles. If these two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the distances HF/HG = HP/HB. We know all of these values except for the HB which is the distance from home to the bus stop. But if these triangles are similar, we can solve for that distance.
15/9 = 10/HB
HB = 90/15
HB = 6 blocks.
To determine if the triangles are similar we need to know the distance from home to the bus stop, and if these are indeed similar, that distance must be 6 blocks.
I got A, -32, but it has been awhile since I have learned this in my math class. You might want to wait for someone else to verify this answer.
