If the family walked 2/5 of a mile in 2/7 of an hour their MPH would be 2.8mph
the shorter sides are 4 inches and the longer sides are 21 inches long
8 * 24 feet = 192 sq feet per 5 hours
12* 36 = 432 square feet
432 is 2.25 times the area of 192 square feet
So, it takes 5 * 2.25 = 11.25 hours
To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x<span>) = </span>a|x<span> - </span>h<span>| + </span>k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).
with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.
