Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
point slope form : y - y1 = m( x - x1 )
the equation y = 1/2x - 5 does not follow this therefore the answer is false
the equation y = -1/2x - 5 is instead put in slope intercept form , y = mx + b
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)
24/x = 8/5
24*5 = x*8
120 = 8x
8x = 120
8x/8 = 120/8
x = 15
The tree is 15 feet tall
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 4 = 7 parts
Divide the number of students by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio
35 ÷ 7 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then
3 parts 3 × 5 = 15 ← number of boys
4 parts = 4 × 5 = 20 ← number of girls
20 - 15 = 5
There are 5 more girls than boys
