5 0

Answer:

5 males : 4 females

40 males : X females

5/40 =4/X

(cross multiplication)

5x = 4*40

5x = 160

(divide both sides by 5)

X = 32

therefore, there are 32 females at the camp

A = 31 degree
Cos 31 degree = 400/x
X = 400/ Cos 31
= 400/0.8572
= 466.7ft

Matttthhhh , i need help

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We are given the slope of -3, but we need the y-intercept. We will sub in the x coordinate for x in the equation and the y coordinate for y in the equation, along with the slope and solve for b. -2 = -3(0) + b and -2 = b. Rewriting the equation, we have y = -3x - 2.
