The slope of AB is also -5. This is because parallel lines have equal slopes.
Answer:
x has no real solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Our equation is qudratic equation so the method we will follow to solve it is using the dicriminant :
- Let Δ be the dicriminant
- a=1
- b=2
- c=9
- Δ= 2²-4*1*9 =4-36=-32
- we notice that Δ≤0⇒x has no real solution
Answer:
The top of the ladder is now at 10 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the start, we have a height H=6, a length L=10 and a base B, that has to be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem:

The base is moved twice the distance the height moves up.
We called this distance x, so we have:

The new height (H+x) is

The base travels 2x=8, so the new base B' is 0.
This means that the ladder is all against the wall (L=H').
The correct answer is c. :)
