(See attached diagram.) The positions of the vaulter's left and right hands are marked. The length of the entire pole is 15 feet. The segment below her left hand is twice as long as the segment above, so label those two parts with x and 2x. Those two segments add up to 15 feet:
The lower segment is 10 feet long. The vaulter's right hand is 1.5 feet above her left, so it is 10 + 1.5 = 11.5 from the bottom of the pole.
Answer:
- A. Since 11 ≠ 9, there is no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system:</u>
- 1.75x + 1.25y = 2.75
- 7x + 5y = 9
<u>Multiply the first equation by 4:</u>
- 4(1.75)x + 4(1.25)y = 4(2.75)
- 7x + 5y = 11
We get same equation as the second one with the difference that the right side equals to 11.
Since left sides are same and right sides are different, the system has no solution.
Correct choice is A
Answer:
slope = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
Since it is parallel to the x- axis the slope = 0
Thus any line parallel to it will have a slope = 0
