Since he descended 12 meters, we subtract this from the overall height of Mount Ka'ala, so then we are only calculating how high ABOVE the sea level it is.
1232 - 12 = 1220
The height of Mount Ka'ala is therefore 1,220 meters.
To calculate how much a fifth of Mount Ka'ala is (since the ranger station is 2/5's up), we would divide this number by 5
1220 ÷ 5 = 244
Since ONE fifth of the height is 244 meters, TWO fifths would be double that amount.
244 x 2 = 488
488 meters.
The ranger station is 488m above sea level.
Okay so you out them into the form of y=mx+b. since equation 2 is already like that you need to do it to equation 1. which is y=-4x+4. graph both equations. if it has a solution (1 point where the two lines meet) it is consistantly and independent. if they are parallel lines and the solution is 0 the system is inconsistent and the lines are dependent. if it's the same line they are consistent and dependent. the line is not the same since the y intercept is different. the slope is the same though which tells us its parallel. so the system has a solution of 0 and is inconsistent and the lines are independent.
The side of the square is 4 cm since 4x4= 16
The slope for the first one would be:
y2-y1/x2-x1, so replace those with the coordinates and you'll get:
-3-1/-7-(-7) => -4/0 so I guess the slope is zero
the slope for the second one would be:
-3-(-3)/5-(-4)=> 0/9 I think this one would be undefined.
Check to make sure, though!
