Her first rate was faster. The 10 minutes with a change in elevation of -200ft.
In order to solve this you need to have the same minutes. In this problem, I just simply took the 10 minutes and the -200ft and doubled it. Now both rates have 20 minutes. The first rate would have gone -400ft in 20 minutes while the second rate was only -300ft in 20 minutes. I hope this wasn't confusing, and I'm willing to explain more.
Well you gotta find out what x means
To solve this problem, we are going to use a scientific/mathematics strategy called Dimensional Analysis.
40 miles / 1 hour * 5280 feet / 1 mile = 211200 feet / 1 hour
211200 feet / 1 hour * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3520 feet/ 1 minute
3520 feet / 1 minute * 1 minute / 60 seconds = approximately 59 feet / 1 second
Jackrabbits travel approximately 59 feet per second, when rounded to the nearest whole number.
I believe this is scale factor? SF=new/old. 10/8= a scale factor of 1.25 (the image gets 1.25x bigger). To find x, multiply 5 by 1.25 and subtract the original length of 5 (you subtract this length because x is only the value of the new part of the triangle). X=6.25-5, X=1.25. Try to find y yourself using this scale factor. (Brainliest would be appreciated)
Point slope form equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
in this case
y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)
Answer
Point slope form equation:
y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)
