Answer:
The slant of the ladder is 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached figure to understand this situation
∵ a represents the distance from the edge to the top step
∵ The distance from the edge to the top step is 4 ft
∴ a = 4 ft
∵ b represents the distance to the house's edge from the bottom step
∵ The distance to the house's edge from the bottom step is 3 ft
∴ b = 3 ft
∵ c represents the slant of the ladder
∴ We need to find c
→ By using the Pythagoras Theorem
∵ c =
∴ c =
∵ = 5
∴ c = 5 ft
∴ The slant of the ladder is 5 ft

Answer:
(-1/4, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given information into the equation and solve for y.
3y +4(-1/4) = 5
3y -1 = 5 . . . . . . simplify
3y = 6 . . . . . . . . add 1
y = 2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
The point is (-1/4, 2).
