I would say go with with B
Answer:
2000
Step-by-step explanation:
It says under the graph
Answer:B is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the equation representing the first cut,
y = - x/3 + 6
The graph is a straight line graph. The equation for a straight line graph can be represented in the slope intercept form,
y = mx + c
Where
m represents the slope ( change in y / change in x)
c represents the intercept.
Looking at the given equation, the slope is - 1/3
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. Since the line of the second cut must be parallel to the line of the first cut, the slope of the line of the second cut will be - 1/3
To find the the intercept of the equation of the line of the second cut, we will substitute
x = - 1/3, y = - 2 and x = 0 into y = - 2 into y = mx + c. It becomes
-2 = - 1/3 × 0 + c
c = - 2
The equation becomes
y = -x/3 - 2
I believe the answer is 1 foot.
Because 12 divided by 12 = 1
Hope this helps! :-)
P.S. please make sure to have all the options!
