Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{12-8=4}{6-2=4}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

Slope is 1.

Answer is 1.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi there! Think of x as 2 and 6 and think of y as 8 and 12. 8-12/2-6=-4/-4. Now, -4/-4=1. Therefore, the answer is C. 1

To estimate the height of a mountain, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) b = 800 meters fro

Nady [450]

Answer: The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.

The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;

Tan β = opposite/adjacent

Tan 59 = AC/800

Tan 59 x 800 = AC

1.6643 x 800 = AC

1331.44 = AC

AC ≈ 1331.4

Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters

Tara wants to weigh her three stuffed animals. They will only fit on the scale two at a time. Together Addie and Missy weight 18

Pepsi [2]

Answer: Addie weighs 4 ounces

Missy weighs 14 ounces

Corky weighs 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the weight of Addie.

Let m represent the weight of Missy.

Let c represent the weight of Corky.

Together Addie and Missy weigh 18 ounces. This means that

a + m = 18 - - - - - - - - - 1

Missy and Corky weigh 22 ounces. This means that

m + c = 22

m = 22 - c - - - - - - - - - - 2

Addie and Corky weigh 12 ounces. This means that

a + c = 12

a = 12 - c - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1, it becomes

22 - c + 12 - c = 18

34 - 2c = 18

- 2c = 18 - 34 = - 16

c = - 16/ - 2 = 8

Substituting c = 8 into equation 2, it becomes

m = 22 - 8

m = 14

Substituting c = 8 into equation 3, it becomes

a = 12 - 8

a = 4
