Y=7 because there is no slope and the Y intercept is at 7.
Answer:
$7.15
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to solve this is by crossing out the data you don't need so you're left looking at the key pieces to put the equation together. If his dad paid him $45.76 for 6.4 hours, then all you need to do is divide 45.76 by 6.4. (Hint: Use a calculator, it makes it ten times faster than trying to write it out!)
45.76 ÷ 6.4 = 7.15
So Greg made $7.15 an hour working with his dad.

Answer:
79.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a vertical segment about 3 inches tall. Label the upper endpoint A and the lower endpoint B. That is the cell phone tower. Starting at point B, draw a horizontal segment 1 inch long to the right. Label the right endpoint C. Connect C to A with a segment.
Segment BC is 25 ft long. Segment AB is 75 ft long. Angle B is a right angle.
You are looking for the length of segment AC, the guy wire length.
Triangle ABC is a right triangle with right angle B.
Sides AB and BC are the legs, and side AC is the hypotenuse.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem:
(leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2 = (hyp)^2
Let one leg be a, the other leg be b, and let the hypotenuse be c.
Then you have
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We have a = 75 ft
b = 25 ft
We are looking for c, the length of the hypotenuse.
(75 ft)^2 + (25 ft)^2 = c^2
5625 ft^2 + 625 ft^2 = c^2
6250 ft^2 = c^2
c^2 = 6250 ft^2
Take the square root of both sides.
c = 79.0569... ft
Answer: 79.1 ft
