Question unclear
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a trapezoid, you can simply find the average of the two base lengths, but I can't help much without seeing the shape. Please add a picture of the shape.
Answer:
The equation that represents the new path is y=(1/3)x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the give line
we have
y=-3x-6
so
the slope m is equal to
m=-3
step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other
so
we have
m=-3 -----> slope of the given line
therefore
The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to
m=1/3
step 3
With m=1/3 and the point (-3,3) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m(x-x1)
substitute
y-3=(1/3)(x+3)
y=(1/3)x+1+3
y=(1/3)x+4 -----> equation that represent the new path
Answer:
r = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Performing the indicated multiplication on both sides of this equation, we get:
5r - 5 = 2r - 8 - 6
Combining the r terms: 3r - 5 = - 8 - 6.
Combining the constants: 3r = 5 - 14, or 3r = -9.
Dividing both sides by 3, to isolate r, we get: r = -3
Since they are starting with 270, the y intercept is going to be 270, now since they are losing 15 food everyday, the slope is going to be -15 so the final equation is y=-15x+270
