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:
y = - 
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= - 
= - , thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation
- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3
y = - x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
The 3rd graph should be it

Answer:
a = 1, b = 5, c = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 9/4
= 7/2 × 4/9
= (7*4)/(2*9)
= 28/18
= 14/9
= 1 5/9
Therefore
3 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4 = a b/c
Where,
a = 1, b = 5, c = 9
