Answer: comutative law
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor order does not change product.
Since the rate of descent is a constant this is a linear equation and can be expressed as:
h=vt+b, where h=feet, v=slope or rate, b=y-intercept (y value when x=0 which is the initial height)
h=-2t+b, using the point (3,67) we can solve for b, or the initial height
67=-2(3)+b
67=-6+b
73=b so the initial height was 73 ft and the height equation is then:
h(t)=67-2t so when t=8 you have:
h(8)=67-2(8)
h(8)=67-16
h(8)=51 ft
To determine the slope, you can use the following formula:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
0.09/10=0.009
we check it: 0.009*10=0.09, so it's right
You would first have to find common denominators for the fractions. In this case it would be 10. So your new equation would be 3 5/10 - 2 4/10. Once you do this you can then subtract and solve getting the answer of 1 1/10
