Answer:
5x -7y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
A sketch can convince you that BC is a transversal perpendicular to parallel lines AB and CD. The question asks for an equation for CD, so we just need to write the equation of a line through D that is parallel to AB.
One way to do this is to equate the slopes of the parallel lines:
∆y/∆x for AB = ∆y/∆x for CD
(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (y -2)/(x -7) . . . . . . where (x1, y1) = A; (x2, y2) = B; (7, 2) = D
(4 -(-1))/(1 -(-6)) = (y -2)/(x -7)
5(x -7) = 7(y -2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . cross multiply
5x -7y = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 35 -7y, simplify

Note that the graph shows the line CD is named "b", and its equation is shown at upper left. Multiplying that equation by -1 gives the one shown here.
Answer:
8.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find the time t when the depth of the snow is 7 inches.
To do this, we just need to use the value of D = 7 then find the value of t:
We want to find the depth of snow one hour from now, so we just need to use the value of t = 3 to calculate D:
The depth of snow one hour from now will be 8.5 inches.
