Answer:

y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1

y\to Lake\ level

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

m=\frac{-74}{21}

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Length SD is greater than length DM.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the measure of the opposite angle and a side are related, so by determining which angle is bigger, we can discover which side is longer.

Angle SUD is greater than angle MUD. Angle SUD is the opposite angle to SD, and angle MUD is the opposite angle to DM. Therefore, SD is greater than DM.
