The figure is missing. There are several problems with same wording but different numbers

Here, we can use:

  • Horizontal distance: 258 feet

  • Vertical fall: 56.0 feet

Answer:

  • Slope = 56.0 ft / 258 ft ≈ 0.217

Explanation:

The <em>slope</em> measures how the rate of change of the vertical distance (vertical fall) with respect to the horizontal distance.

There are several forms to express this with words, which represent the same formula. Here are some of them:

  • Slope = rise / run
  • Slope = vertical change / horizontal change
  • Slope = change in y / change in x
  • Slope = Δy / Δx
  • Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

As said, all those forms mean the same; they are equivalent.

Here, we have vertical fall = 56.0 feet, and horizontal distance = 258 feet, and by specifications of the problem (in the hint) the slope must be positive. Thus, you get:

  • Slope = vertical fall / horizontal distance = 56.0 feet / 258 feet ≈ 0.217

<span>Experimental Probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials.

Given that </span><span>Cole rolls a number cube multiple times and records the data in the table below. At the end of the experiment, he counts that he has rolled 190 fours.

From the table, we see that the total number of trials is 1,000 and there are 190 fours.

Therefore, the experimental probability of rolling a four, based on Cole’s experiment is given by 190 / 1,000 = 0.19 = 0.190 to the nearest thousandth.</span>

Solve 2y - 5 over 3 = 4y - 1 over 2
ololo11 [35]
\frac{2y - 5}{3} = \frac{4y - 1}{2}
3(4y - 1) = 2(2y - 5)
3(4y) - 3(1) = 2(2y) - 2(5)
12y - 3 = 4y - 10
8y - 3 = -10
8y = -7
\frac{8y}{8} = \frac{-7}{8}
y = -0.875
