Putting a ladder up against a straight wall. The sides of the triangle are:
1: the ladder
2: the walls
3: the ground from the wall to the ladder
Answer:
B y = -1/2x + 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that it has a negative slope since the points go from the top left to the bottom right
We can eliminate A and D
The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis
It should cross somewhere between 2 and 4
C has a y intercept of 9 which is too big
Lets verify with a point
x = -4
y = -4(-4)+9 = 16+9 = 25 (-4,25) not even close to being near the points on the graph
checking B
y = -1/2 (-4) +7/2
= 2 + 7/2 = 11/2 = 5.5 it seems reasonable
A mean is an average of a total. If you add all the pets together and divide by the number of people, you get the mean. So 1 +3 + 2 + 4 + 0 = 10
You have 10 pets in total.
There are 5 people.
Mean = 10 pets / 5 people = 2 pets per person. that's the mean or average that everyone has.
A/4 = b/7 Cross multiply: 7a =4b Divide by b: (7a/b)=4 Multiply by 1/7: a/b =4/7
4/7 is your answer
