We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to
, and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to
ft
:)
Y - y1 = m( x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1);
We have m = (6-0)/(7-5) = 6 / 2 = 3 ;
The equation of the line is: y - 0 = 3(x-5);
Finally: y = 3x - 15.
Answer:
Subtracting 7
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Given:</em></u>
<em>Clara is stacking cups; she put 45 plastic cups in the first stack, 38 plastic cups in the second stack, 31 plastic cups in the third stack, and 24 plastic cups in the fourth stack. </em>
<u><em>To Find:</em></u>
<em>What kind of sequence is this?</em>
<u><em>Solve:</em></u>
<em>Let's make a table:</em>
<em />
<em>[1 stack] 45 </em>
<em>[2 stack] 38</em>
<em>[3 stack] 31</em>
<em>[4 stack] 24</em>
<em />
<em>Now all we have to do is subtract to see what each is:</em>
<em>45 - 38 = 7</em>
<em>38 - 31 = 7</em>
<em>31 - 24 = 7</em>
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>[1 stack] 45 ⇒ 7</em>
<em>[2 stack] 38 ⇒ 7 </em>
<em>[3 stack] 31 ⇒ 7 </em>
<em>[4 stack] 24 ⇒ 7 </em>
<em>Hence, each stack is going down by 7.</em>
