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

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a proportional relationship between x and y it's 5.

Think about it when x is 1 y is 5

When x is 2 y is 10

When x is 5 y is 25

When x is 7 y is 35

To get this for this question all you have to do is multiply x by 5 to get y.

That's how you know it's proportional.

Hope this helps!!!

The cost of a pound of nails increased from ​$2.17 to ​$2.52. What is the percent of increase to the nearest​ whole-number perce
Cloud [144]

Answer:

16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest​ whole-number percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of a pound of nails increased from ​$2.17 to ​$2.52.

  • $2.52 - $2.17 = $0.35

so dividing the 0.35 by 2.17 would give us the percetange of increase

  • 0.35/2.17 = 0.16 which is 16%.

Therefore, 16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest​ whole-number percent.
