-x + 8 = x - 10
8 - x = x - 10
8 = x - 10 + x
8 = 2x - 10
8 + 10 = 2x
18 = 2x
18/2 = x
9 = x
x = 9
Answer:
Slope is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2, -4) and (2, 4)
Slope:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(4+4)/(2+2)
m=8/4
m = 2
0.48 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.
Step 2
Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]
