Eli walked 12 feet down the hall of his house to get to the door. He conti in a straight line out the door and across the yard t
o the mailbox, a distan 32 feet. He came straight back across the yard 14 feet and stopped to pet hil dog. a. Draw a diagram of Eli's walking pattern. b. How far has he walked? c. How far from the house is he now?
1 answer:
Answer:
a. Check the diagram
b. He walked 58 feet
c. He is 18 feet far away from the house
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Eli started inside the house an walked 12 feet (blue arrow), after that he keep walking until the mailbox for 32 feet (green arrow) and after that he came back until the dog 14 feet (red arrow).
b. For calculating how far has he walked we need to take into acount all the travel so we add all the arrows:
12ft + 32ft + 14ft =58ft
He walked 58 feet.
c. The distance from the dog to the house is determine by the substraction between the distance to the mailbox with the distance he walked to the dog then:
32ft - 14ft = 18ft.
He is 18 feet far away from the house.

Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 9, 5)
m = =
= 0
This means the line is horizontal and parallel to the x- axis with equation
y = c
where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (7, 5) and (- 9, 5) with y- coordinates 5, thus
y = 5 ← equation of line
