Answer:

-\dfrac{1}{60}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Rate }=-\dfrac{1}{5} in/foot

It is negative because slopes down.

Slope is dimensionless quantity.

So, change the rate in/foot dimensionless.

As we know, 1 foot = 12 in

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1\text{ in}}{5\text{ foot}}\times \dfrac{1\text{ foot}}{12\text{ in}}

cancel in and foot from top and bottom

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{12}

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{5\times 12}

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{60}

Hence, the slope is -\dfrac{1}{60}

I need to find the zeros to these two problems and I have no idea how
Iteru [2.4K]
If you have a graphing calculator just put in the equation in 'y=' (not the i equation), and then go to 2nd trace and see where the y=0, those numbers under the x column are the zeros. For the first one, the zeros are: -1, .5, and 2.8. For the second question the zeros are: -3 and about 1.9. The zeros with a decimal are estimations.
