Before we calculate we can use some common sence thinknig to narrow down the choices. We know that Robert is gonig DOWN the hill, so it doesnt make sence that he woudl have a positive rate of change (i.e. the number feet up the hill he is is decreasing, not increasing) So right away, A & B are clearly wrong.

If we look at the last two (C & D) we can see that if -460 were right after 10 minutes he would have walked down 4,600 feet. This is WAY more that the total height of the hill and so can't be correct.

So C must be correct.

We can check this with some simple math:
rate = \frac{end-start}{time} = \frac{0ft-1380ft}{30mins}= -46\frac{ft}{min}

What is the absolute value of –6? Use the number line to help answer the question. A number line going from negative 7 to positi
drek231 [11]
<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

Mark the locations -6 and 0 on the number line. Note that going from -6 to 0, or vice versa, will take exactly 6 steps. Put another way, the distance between 0 and -6 is 6 units. Absolute value represents distance, so it is never negative.

We say |-6| = 6

Effectively, all we're doing is removing the negative sign.

Find the measure of line f and g
kiruha [24]

In this case we use intersecting secant theorem  

According to this theorem, GF*GE = GH*GA

So,we plug in the values

(x-3)*(x-3+9) =(x-2)*(x-2+6)

(x-3)*(x+6) =(x-2)*(x+4)

x^2 +6x -3x -18 =x^2 +4x -2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 =x^2 +2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 -x^2 -2x +8 =0

x -10 =0

x=10

So,FG =x-3 = 10-3 =7
