Answer:

Option D is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided angle of elevations of two artifacts buried beneath the ground and we are asked to find distance between these two elevations.

We will find distance between these elevations by taking the difference of two.

35:\frac{4}{7}--8:\frac{2}{7}

35:\frac{4}{7}+8:\frac{2}{7}=43:\frac{6}{7}

Since we know that distance is always positive so option A is incorrect.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice and distance between these two elevations is 43:\frac{6}{7}.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an archaeologist discovered two artifacts buried beneath the ground.

Elevation of first artifact = -8\frac{2}{7}

Elevation of second artifact = 35\frac{4}{7}

We need to find the distance between these two elevations.

Distance = Elevation of first artifact - Elevation of second artifact

Distance=-8\frac{2}{7}-(35\frac{4}{7})

Distance=-(8+\frac{2}{7})-(35+\frac{4}{7})

Distance=-8-\frac{2}{7}-35-\frac{4}{7}

On further simplification we get

Distance=-43-\frac{6}{7}

Distance=-(43+\frac{6}{7})

Distance=-43\frac{6}{7}

Distance can not be negative. So, find the absolute value.

Distance=|-43\frac{6}{7}|

Distance=|43\frac{6}{7}|

Therefore, the correct option is D.

What is the solution set for -4x - 10 ≤ 2?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

x <u>></u> -3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4x - 10 <u><</u> 2

     + 10 <u><</u> + 10

<u>- 4x < 12</u>

-4      -4

x <u>></u> -3

I think the sign flips because the negative sign is w/the X.... If it doesn't, sorry 4 being wrong...

Find the equation of the line using the exact numbers
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.25x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:

(0,-6);(4,-7)

The general equation for a line:

y = m*x + n

The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:

1. -6 = m*0 + n

2. -7 = m*4 + n

You can read off n right away fro equation 1:

n = -6

Plugging n into equation 2:

-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4
