Answer:

<em>For each horizontal foot, the roller coaster changes </em><em>6 feet</em><em> of height.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop.

So the run is 25 feet.

The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is -150 feet. (Negative sign is given because it is measured from the top to bottom)

So the rise is 150 feet.

The slope of the roller coaster is,

m=\dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}=\dfrac{150}{25}=6

Slope of 6 means, for 1 unit of run, the object has a rise of 6 units.

Therefore, for each horizontal foot, the roller coaster changes 6 feet of height.

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation: You correctly divided the absolute values, but since you are dividing a negative height by a positive number of horizontal feet, the answer is negative. You still have to use the negative sign in your calculation. -150 is a real number and not to be disregarded....

Grant earns $5 for each magazine he sells.Write an equation in two variables showing the relationship between the number pf maga
slega [8]

Answer:

A=5m

Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent number of magazine sold and A represent amount of money earned.

We have been given that Grant earns $5 for each magazine he sells. So amount earned from m magazines would be 5 times m that is 5m dollars.

Now, we will equate total amount earned by Grant with A as:

A=5m

Therefore, our required equation would be A=5m.

To find the amount earned by Grant by selling 12 magazines, we will substitute m=12 in our equation as:

A=5(12)

A=60

Therefore, Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation for 5,098,000.
avanturin [10]
Scientific notation is the representation of a number in a power of ten, with a sequence of digits placing the comma after the first digit, and the power or then that is mathematically consistent with the number. For example 400 is 4.00 * 10^2; 3100 is 3.100 * 10^4; 13421 = 1.3421 * 10 ^4. It is important that you have only one digit before the comma. So, 5,098,00 is 5.098 * 1,000,00 = 5.098 * 10^6. <span>The answer is the option c. 5.098 * 10^6.</span>

When creating equations for our word problems, we must remember to...
Gnom [1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  define all variables

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations for word problems will depend on the problem. Not all of the equations will be linear equations. Even if they are, they are not necessarily easily written in any particular form, or easily solved when they are written in that form. The nature of the equations will depend on the problem.

One thing that must be done in any case is <em>define all variables</em>. It is usually a good idea to define the units of the variable(s) as well. Sometimes problems are posed with numbers in incompatible dimensions, or they may ask for an answer in dimensions different from those used in the given information. In order to avoid confusion and to be sure you have the desired answer, you need to make sure the variables and their dimensions are compatible with the solution process.
