Answer:
13/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (6 - -7)/(1 - -5)
= ( 6+7)/ (1+ 5)
= 13/6
0.0000000952 in scientific notation
9.52 × 10-8
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
Answer:
c.
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the constant to the right side and the sign
0.5x=26-6
Calculate
0.5x=26-6=20 >>> 0.5x=20
divide both sides of by the equation 0.5
0.5x=20 >>> x=40
