So if line A passes through (0,-5) and (12,1) you can put it into the equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1. m=1+5/12-0 m=6/12 or m=1/2
if line B passes through (0,-4) and (10,1) you can use the same equation to find the slope. m=1+4/10-0 m=5/10 or m=1/2
(0,-5) and (0,-4) are y-intercepts so you can now put it into the equation y=mx+b
line A: y=1/2x-5
line B: y=1/2x-4
because the slope is the same and the y-intercept is different they will never intersect.
let me know if this helped i’m glad to.
First, let's simplify the inequality as much as we can:
-4x + 7 > 15
-4x > 8
Divide by -4:
x < -2
Is the pond a rectangle? Can you post a pic?
If they are similar then that means that the lengths of the sides of the two shapes are in the same proportions:
24/16 = 26/x
Now if we cross multiply we get:
24x = 26*16
24x = 416
x = 416/24 = 52/3
