Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Using the above formula,
Substitute the value of m into the equation:
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x=6, y=1,
Thus, the equation of the line is y=⅙x.
In this problem, represents the sea level. Since Dominic is feet below the surface (sea level), his current location is at feet.
The same concept can be applied to Karen, who is at feet.
We need to find who is lower, or farther below . This means the answer is .
x/y = 4/6 = 2/3
