Transpose the equation:
8x+6y=30
First minus 8x from each side of the equation.
6y=30-8x
Then divide each side by 6.
y=5-1.33x or if you want the answer in exact form:
y=5-4/3x
The slope is 4/3 or 1.333.
Y= -35
Y = -1
I put the work in the picture below!
(Hint: just substitute the x for its number and do simple adding and subtracting)
So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
Choice D is the correct answer.
For translations, moving to the right 5 units means you add 5 to x, and moving down 2 units means you subtract 2 from y. D is the only choice that accurately represents this.
Hope this helps
