A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20 . What is the run?

Mathematics

Lerok [7]3 years ago

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}.

Plug in the information given:

\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{\text{ Run }}.

Now we want to solve this equation for Run.

If you don't like Run as a variable, let's just use x in it's place:

\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply:

1(x)=20(6)

Simplify both sides:

x=120

The run is 120.

Let's check our work.

\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}.

So if our rise is 6 and our run is 120.

Does 6/120 reduce to 1/20?

6 and 120 do have a common factor of 6.

So if you divide top and bottom of 6/120 by 6 you do get 1/20.

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

We'd need to set up an equation to find the run:

<em>Note: Rise over run is already the slope, we are only locating the missing part, which is "run"</em>

6/x = 1/20

We'd have to multiply the denominator by x to get rid of it:

6/x * x = 6

x * 1/20 = 1/20 x

Divide both sides by 1/20:

6/(1/20)

6 * 20/1

120

Our run is 120

A caterer charger $120 to carter a party for 15 people and $200 for 25 people
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

y = 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

When the number of people increased by 10, the caterer charged an additional $80. Therefore, we estimate that the cost per person is $8. In order to verify:

$8/person * 15 people = $120. True. $8/person * 25 people = $200. True.

Therefore, if we let x represent the number of people being cater for and y represent the cost, the equation to model the situation is simply y = 8x.

hope it helps!
