Answer:

24 ft up the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve, letting the 25 ft ladder be the hypotenuse

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

7^2 +b^2 = 25^2

49 + b^2 = 625

Subtract 49 from each side

49-49 +b^2 = 625-49

b^2 = 576

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(576)

b = 24

We only take the positive solution since length cannot be negative

The ladder will reach 24 ft up the wall

(b) A line has the equation y = 6x + 11
marin [14]

Hi, to begin, the ordered pair value (-3, 15) has an x-value of -3. So, to see if it lies on the line of your equation y = 6x + 11, plug -3 in for x. This gives you y = 6(-3) + 11 = -7 So the ordered pair answer for this would be (-3, -7) and not (-3, 15). So the answer is no.
