Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation 
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to

square both sides
------> equation 
Step 3
equate equation
and equation 

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is

Answer:
the bacteria population increases at a constant rate
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
Since you know:
m = -2
b = 5 Substitute/plug it into the equation
y = mx + b
y = -2x + 5
