Answer:

-2/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope y-intercept form : y = mx + b

Here m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Write the given equation in slope y-intercept form.

$\sf \dfrac{2}{7}x + 5y = 15\\\\$

$\sf 5y = \dfrac{-2}{7}x + 15\\\\ y =\dfrac{-2}{7*5}x + \dfrac{15}{5}\\\\ y = \dfrac{-2}{35}x + 3\\\\ \boxed{\bf Slope = \dfrac{-2}{35}}$

This is a ratio based question.

$\frac{492}{500} = \frac{x}{6000}$
$x = 6000 \times \frac{492}{500}$

Answer:

12 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A model ship has a mast that is 7 inches tall. A right triangular sail goes from the top of the mast to 1 inch from the bottom of the mast. The length of the base of the sail is 4 inches. The height of the sail is along the mast. Find the area of the sail.

The sail will form a right triangle with respect to mast, whose height is 6 inches and base is 4 inches as shown in the diagram.

The area of the sail will be equal to area of triangle.

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times\text{Height})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(4\text{ in}\times6 \text{in})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=2\text{ in}\times 6 \text{in})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=12 \text{ in}^2$

Therefore, the area of the sail is 12 square inches.
