Answer: The pole is 17 feet long
Step-by-step explanation: If Matthew's shadow is 2 feet smaller than his actually size, the shadow of the pole will also be reduced. Since the pole's shadow is 15 feet long, adding 2 will give you its original size, 17 feet.
Answer:
x=-2, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can rearrange the questions to make it easier
y=3x+3
2y=-3x-12
if you add the two equations, you get
3y=0x-9
so y=-9/3 = -3
plug y into one of the equations
-3=3x+3
-6=3x
x=-2
and then check your work by plugging into the other equation:
2*-3=-3(-2)-12
-6=6-12
-6=-6

Answer:
32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the doll house is 8/10 of the length of the doll house, so the actual house will have a width that is 8/10 of its length:
(8/10)(40 ft) = 32 ft
The actual house is 32 feet wide.
Answer:
i dunno
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C and E are not on the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just substitute for the x and the y and see which ordered pair fits and which does not:
If Left side of the equation = right side then the point fits.
A. y = -3
-2x+5 = -2(4) + 5 = -3 So A is on the line
B. y = 9
-2(-2) + 5 = 9 So this point does lie on the line.
C. y = 1
-2(3) + 5 = -1 No.
D. y = 7
-1(-1) + 5 = 7 YES.
E. y = 1
-2(1) + 5 = 3 NO.
