If the stack is 21ins and each board is 1 3/2 ins thick that means you 21/(1 3/2) so you end up getting 8.4. Because you can't have a part of a board you round the number down to 8 boards.
She made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
a)
The formula used by Lorena to calculate the slope between 2 points is correct
So the statement given in option 1 is not the reason for her mistake
Step 2:
b)
She has taken the fourth and fifth point and correctly used the x and y co ordinates to calculate the slope
Hence the statement in second option is not true
Step 3:
c)
While calculating the slope the denominator is -2 - (-4) . This gives 2 as the answer. But she has made a mistake in this subtraction giving -6 as the answer.
Hence she has made a mistake in subtracting x1 from x2 and this statement is true
Step 4:
d)
She has not made any mistake in subtracting y1 from y2. Hence this statement is not true
We know that statement 1 is always true.
But if we have a scalene trapezoid, it has neither equal angles nor equal sides, so 2 and 3 would not be true

Answer:
If x = 3y and 3y = x, then y = 1/3x.
