A ramp slopes from a warehouse door down to the street. The height of the ramp is 5 feet, and the ramp ends 10 feet from the bas
Tomtit [17]
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.
If this was unclear feel free to comment :)

Find:P(large or blue)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number = 17+3+8+12 = 40

The ones that are large are 17 and 8

The ones that are blue are 17 and 3

Do not count the 17 twice

P(large or blue) = (17+3+8)/40

                          = 28/40

                         =7/10

Solve the following system of equations.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure if you meant the first equation to be y or -y.  I solved it as y.

y = x-5                       -x -3y =7

I am going to take the second equation and write it as x =

-x - 3y = 7  Give equation

-x = 3y +7   Add 3y to both sides

x = -3y-7  Multiplied each term in the equation by -1 so that x could be positive

I am going to substitute -3y-7 for x in the first equation up above

y = x - 5

y = -3y -7 - 5  Substitute -3y-7 for x

y = -3y -12  Combined -7-5

4y = -12  Added 3y to both sides

y = -3  Divided both sides by 4.

I now know that y is -3, I will plug that into x = -3y-7 to solve for x

x = -3(-3) -7

x = 9-7   A negative times a negative is a positive

x = 2
