How can you use four rods that measure 2 cm 5 cm 7 cm 9 cm to measure a length of one

1 answer:

5 0

If you put the 9cm and 2cm rods together end-on-end, the new length is 11cm. Now if you repeat this with the 7cm and 5cm rods that new length is 12cm, so the difference between the two is now 1 cm. It does not seem very practical to walk around measuring items using the rods like this, so you could then make a small rod or use a strip of paper equal to the difference (1cm) as a standard measuring tool.

Slope: what is the slope?

Len [333]

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically I located the y-intercept first. Where is that? At the point (0,-2). Now from there, I found the nearest point on an intersecting grid line, in this case it would be (-1,0). So from the y-intercept, I looked at how many spaces I would have to move to get to (-1,0). You would have to go up 2 spaces and to the left 1 space. This is also written as 2/-1. Simplify this and you get -2! Hope this helped!
