The total length of the rope = 32 ft It is cut into two sections, say x and y But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x) Solving for x
x+y =32 x+7x = 32 8x=32 x=32/8 = 4 ft. Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
A vertical translation 1 unit down since for example x is 1, if u plug it in both equations it is f(1)=1*2-1 which equals f(1)=1 and the point is (1,1) for the other one, g(1)=(1-1)2-1 it equals g(1)=-1
